Everything you need to know about car finance claims

What is car finance mis-selling?

Car finance mis-selling occurs when a PCP or HP agreement was sold unfairly. This could include hidden discretionary commission arrangements (DCAs) where dealers could increase your interest rate to earn more commission, lack of transparency about commissions, unfairly high commission charges, or failure to properly assess affordability.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has estimated that average redress may be approximately £826 per successful claim. The exact amount will depend on your individual finance agreement and circumstances. Compensation is not guaranteed.

You can claim against any UK lender or finance company that provided a car loan or hire purchase agreement. We’ll review your agreement to identify all eligible lenders for your claim.

Due to the FCA’s ongoing review of motor finance commission arrangements, lenders have been given extended deadlines. The current deadline for lenders to respond is 31st May (as directed by the FCA). Claims are unlikely to be resolved within a few days and may take several months depending on regulatory developments.

Under our No Win, No Fee agreement, you only pay if your claim is successful. Our fees are capped in line with the FCA’s regulations for claims management companies. You may be required to pay a cancellation or termination fee if you choose to withdraw after work has begun. Full details are provided in our Client Agreement.
