Find out moreHow did the mis-selling happen?
For years, dealers were paid commission by lenders in ways that were rarely explained to customers. Three patterns are now recognised by the FCA as causing widespread harm. Under Discretionary Commission Arrangements, dealers could secretly increase the interest rate on your finance to earn a larger commission, with the more they inflated your rate, the more they got paid. In other cases the commission was a high fixed amount, often a substantial share of what your finance cost overall, and you were never told. And many dealers were tied to a single lender, or had exclusivity arrangements that were not disclosed, meaning you were not offered the most competitive deal available.
All three practices are now within the scope of the FCA's redress scheme. You do not need to have had a Discretionary Commission Arrangement specifically to qualify.
You might have a claim if…
Thousands of drivers were pushed into costly agreements through undisclosed commission, whether through inflated interest rates, high fixed payments to the dealer, or tied lender arrangements.
You weren't told about commission
Your dealer may have earned an undisclosed commission from the lender, either by increasing your interest rate or as a high fixed payment built into the cost of your finance. Either way, if the commission was not properly disclosed, you may have a claim.
Start ClaimYour dealer was tied to one lender
If your dealer had an arrangement that meant they could only offer you finance from a single lender, you may not have been given access to the most competitive deal available. This type of arrangement was required to be disclosed to you, and in many cases it wasn't.
Start ClaimYou paid a high undisclosed commission
In some agreements the commission paid to the dealer was a substantial share of the total cost of credit, in some cases more than a third. If that commission was not disclosed to you, your agreement may be in scope of the FCA scheme.

Here's what we add.
The FCA's redress scheme is free, and you can go direct to your lender or the Financial Ombudsman Service without us. But with agreements going back nearly 20 years, multiple lenders involved, and addresses that have often changed, the process is rarely straightforward, which is why many people choose a regulated law firm. Do you need a law firm?
We identify historic agreements
Many agreements going back to 2007 are no longer in your records. We trace lender and account details from your basic personal information, no documents required.
We deal with lender responses
Lender replies can be technical, contested, or simply slow. As a regulated law firm we know how to push back when an offer undervalues your claim or a deadline is missed.
We help if you have moved address
If your old lender writes to an address you left years ago you may never see the letter. We make sure your claim is registered against the right person, not an outdated record.
We check for multiple agreements
Drivers often finance several cars over a 17-year window. We look across all of your historic finance, not just the one agreement you remember.
We advise when litigation may pay more
The FCA scheme is the right route for most people. For some agreements an independent claim may produce a better outcome, we'll tell you honestly which applies to you.
We manage the process for you
From submission to settlement, we handle the correspondence, evidence, and deadlines. You stay informed without having to chase anyone.
Does this cover PCP and HP finance?
Yes. Both Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and Hire Purchase (HP) agreements are covered by the mis-selling review. If you bought a car on any form of finance between 2007 and 2024, you may be eligible regardless of whether it was labelled PCP or HP. If you're not sure which type you had, we can work that out from your details.
This isn't a niche issue
The FCA has confirmed that lenders are expected to pay out £7.5 billion in total redress, making this one of the largest consumer compensation exercises since PPI. Around 12.1 million agreements may be in scope, covering finance taken out between 2007 and 2024. The average payout is £829 per agreement, though individual amounts vary.
