Conclusion
Each regulator has its own definition of vulnerability, including financial vulnerability.56 Martin Lewis told us that regulators could be doing more to define who should and shouldn’t be protected in such circumstances.57 For example, in markets with competition, regulators promote switching to consumers as a means by which they can obtain the best deal for themselves. While some people can benefit from competition and switching, other groups find it challenging to navigate such complex markets.58
