Unauthorised use of IDA Name / FSP Number

Posted on

We were advised by the Independent Dealer Association (IDA) of an entity who is apparently making unauthorised use of its logo and FSP number.

The IDA and IDA Risk Management confirmed that it has no connection with this motor dealer whose websites contain a link to what is called a “Verified FSP Dealer Code” which is in fact a FSB licence document bearing the licence number of the IDA, as verified on the FSB website.

The FSB website search facility does not contain details of the entity whose name appears licence document.

The IDA is in the process of reporting the matter to the FSB Board for investigation.
