The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced the cancellation of Hillfield Motor Company Limited’s Part 4A permission, effective immediately. This decision comes after the FCA determined that Hillfield Motor Company was not conducting any regulated activities under its granted permissions.
The cancellation means Hillfield Motor Company can no longer carry on any regulated activities. This action follows an extensive review and multiple warnings issued by the FCA regarding the firm’s compliance with regulatory requirements.

Hillfield Motor Company, authorised by the FCA on 25 February 2015, held permissions to conduct various consumer credit activities, including credit broking, debt adjusting, and debt counselling. However, the firm failed to submit required regulatory returns and firm details attestations (FDA) over several periods, prompting the FCA to reassess its compliance status.
According to the FCA, the firm did not submit the CCR007 returns due between 1 August 2020 and 31 July 2023, nor did it respond to regulatory notices issued in March and April 2024. These notices required the firm to confirm its ongoing regulated activities or face cancellation of its permissions.
“The FCA has taken this action because Hillfield Motor Company has consistently failed to provide necessary information and adhere to regulatory requirements,” the Authority stated. “Our priority is to ensure that firms carrying on regulated activities meet the required standards to protect consumers and maintain market integrity.”
Despite multiple opportunities to comply, Hillfield Motor Company did not respond adequately, leading to the final decision to cancel its Part 4A permission. The FCA’s decision underscores its commitment to maintaining rigorous oversight and ensuring that all authorised firms operate within the set regulatory framework.
