Testimonials
“Haydock Finance we wanted to help our Introducer community stay in touch with each other and the wider market place, especially during the difficult times of 2020 and 2021. In order to do this we wanted to present relevant, interesting content in a Webinar on regulation. When deciding who to approach to run the session I knew that Jo Davis was the stand out choice.
Jo has a way of presenting serious and sometimes complicated subjects in a manner that everyone can understand and begin to appreciate the relevance to themselves. They then can act on the advice knowing it is accurate to their sector, proportionate and timely.”
— Andy Taylor, Haydock Finance
“Our idea for Trezeo was to launch an innovative income smoothing proposition including offering consumer credit to self-employed gig workers. Given the Consumer Credit Act was enacted in 1974, it never anticipated a digital product like Trezeo’s so Jo and the team worked with us collaboratively to structure the product to the FCA’s satisfaction and supported us in ensuring that all the FCA requirements as a regulated firm were embedded so that we were compliant from the outset, enabling our FCA authorisation process, launch and ongoing support for a highly vulnerable and underserved segment of the market. Jo and the team have worked with us since the outset of our idea and we will continue to work with them throughout our journey as we grow and develop our business.”
— Garrett Cassidy, Trezeo
“We have worked with Jo Davis for a number of years, supporting us with key projects including the implementation of SMCR, so naturally Auxillias is now our first choice on any industry specific regulatory projects.
In 2020 Auxillias provided invaluable guidance and support on the changes we needed to make in preparation for PS20/8. This included potential commission models and appropriate changes to our disclosures. Working with a legal team who understand the car finance market so well is rare and incredibly valuable to us. Jo and the team challenged our thinking, provided us with evidenced based support where needed and this enabled us to engage productively with our partners and suppliers through a huge cycle of change, both internally and externally. The work Jo and her team did for us on PS20/8 was instrumental in helping Evolution launch an innovative credit score based pricing commission model to our dealer base.”
— Lee Street, Evolution Funding
“Auxillias has helped our company respond the consumer credit law changes. We have benefited from the retainer service which ensures the Daksha and Jo will be available while providing flexibility to structure the hours of support to align with our business needs. Auxillias have been instrumental in helping our company to be proactive to upcoming consumer credit regulatory changes. They listen to our team and provide appropriate advice to suit their audience’s field of experience. We look forward to working with Auxillias on new projects.”
— Libby Barber, IDS, formerly White Clarke Group
“As a new contender to the car finance market, Auxillias has opened the space to be an innovative and customer centric law firm with their open hands-on approach and new inspiring ideas. For the past 15 years, I have worked with Jo Davis at the various companies I have consulted with and have always recommended her to my clients in the motor finance collections & litigation areas with success. I am pleased that Jo and Daksha Mistry have decided to create their own legacy and wish them all the future success possible.”
— Shannon Faulkner, Oodle Finance
“Auxillias have recently supported us with our arrears letters and customer facing documentation reviews, consumer credit agreements and provided collections and arrears training. It was important to us that we dealt with regulated experts in this industry to ensure we are compliant to meet the FCA requirements. Jo and Daksha have been very professional and have a wide range of knowledge and expertise which makes us feel very confident why we are using them. They have been very efficient and approachable and have made this a simple process, easy to understand.
I feel that this is the start of a long term professional relationship that we are looking to develop. Thanks for all your support.”
— Lorraine Hardiment, Catfoss Leisure Finance Ltd
