Consultation on PSA Guidance on refunds
The guidance seeks to ensure consumers are refunded quickly, easy and conveniently.
The Phone-paid Services Authority’s (PSA) is concerned that consumers’ experience of seeking and obtaining a refund for a phone-paid service are not always as good as they could be. The new General Guidance aims to improve this experience by setting out the PSA’s expectations of companies’ refunds processes. These include that:
- seeking a refund should not unduly cost the consumer time, effort or money
- consumers should be kept informed throughout the process
- when a refund is processed, it should be given without undue delay.

The consultation closes on 24 February 2020.
