Home repair and insurance group Homeserve has received a £34.5 million fine by the City regulator for a mis-selling scandal.
The Walsall-based firm had previously set aside only £6m to meet a penalty by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
It has been under a cloud since first revealing problems with its sales practices in October 2011.
The FCA probe looked into mis-selling of household emergency policies and poor handling of customer complaints by the company, whose products include boiler and central heating breakdown cover and insurance against blocked drains.
The scandal has already seen Homeserve fined £750,000 by regulator Ofcom in 2012 for silent and abandoned calls.
Homeserve said it was now setting aside £36m to cover the FCA fine and associated costs, which are in addition to the £40m already put by to cover compensation for customers.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
