Under TCF, what does ongoing care entail?

Under TCF, ongoing care means keeping the customer’s interests at the center after the product is sold. It involves periodic reviews to check that the product or service remains suitable for the customer’s current needs, circumstances, and goals. This isn't just about initial fitness for purpose; it’s about monitoring changes in the customer’s situation, market conditions, and product features to ensure continuing appropriateness, affordability, and value. Regular checks, reminders to review, and updates to terms or recommendations when a better fit becomes available all illustrate ongoing care. Discontinuing service after sale would cut off needed support, which conflicts with fair treatment. Aggressive cross-selling and withholding support after a complaint also fail to reflect ongoing, fair care for the customer.
