About Close Brothers

Close Brothers has set aside £300 million for motor finance redress. Close Brothers estimated in April 2026 that the scheme as published would result in a pro-forma provision of approximately £320 million on a post-PS26/3 basis, compared to its existing IAS 37 provision of £294 million as at January 2026. The provision remains under review.

Named in both the Court of Appeal ruling (October 2024) and the Supreme Court judgment [2025] UKSC 33 (Hopcraft v Close Brothers). One of two lenders at the centre of the landmark ruling. Has suspended new motor finance lending while the review proceeds. Accepted the FCA's scheme in 2026 and confirmed it will not challenge.

Current scheme status

Accepted scheme; not challenging. Has suspended new motor finance lending.

Renault and motor finance

Renault is an established mainstream brand in the UK with strong small car sales; consistent finance volumes across its range throughout the scheme period.

PCP and HP were both used across the Renault range, with Mobilize Financial Services (formerly Renault Financial Services, then RCI Financial Services) active through franchised dealers alongside broad market lenders.

Renault's strong small car volumes, particularly on the Clio and Megane, generated high finance transaction counts throughout the scheme period, though at lower average values than many other brands. PCP was common from around 2014 onwards, with agreement values ranging from approximately £7,500 on a Clio to £21,000 on a Kadjar or Captur. The high transaction count means a significant number of individual agreements may be in scope, even at lower individual claim values.

Common Renault models in scope

  • Renault Clio

    Renault's supermini and consistently its highest-volume UK seller; widely sold on PCP and HP across the scheme period across multiple generations.

  • Renault Megane

    Renault's family hatchback and estate; strong UK volumes on PCP and HP throughout the scheme period.

  • Renault Kadjar

    Renault's compact SUV sold from 2015 to 2022; predominantly sold on PCP during the latter part of the scheme period.

  • Renault Captur

    Renault's crossover SUV; growing PCP volumes from its 2013 launch to become one of the brand's bestselling UK models by the scheme end date.

  • Renault Zoe

    Renault's pioneering electric car; sold in the UK from 2013, PCP was commonly used for Zoe agreements including through the DCA era.

Are you eligible?

You may be eligible to claim against Close Brothers if all of the following apply:

  • You took out a PCP or HP motor finance agreement between 6 April 2007 and 1 November 2024.
  • The finance was arranged through a UK dealer or broker, on a regulated agreement.
  • The agreement was for a car, van or motorcycle for personal use.
  • You can identify yourself, we can trace the agreement details on your behalf.

What makes an agreement eligible?

  • A Discretionary Commission Arrangement (DCA) was in place and was not properly disclosed to you. Under a DCA, the dealer could increase your interest rate to earn a larger commission from the lender without telling you.
  • The commission paid to the dealer was unusually high — amounting to at least 39% of the total cost of credit and 10% of the loan — and was not properly disclosed.
  • There was a contractual tie giving the lender exclusivity over your finance, which was not made apparent to you.

What you could receive

The FCA has confirmed the average payout under the scheme is £829 per agreement. Individual outcomes vary depending on the size of your agreement, the commission charged, and how long the finance ran. If you financed more than one vehicle through Close Brothers, each agreement can be assessed.

Frequently asked questions

Did Close Brothers use Discretionary Commission Arrangements on Renault finance?
Close Brothers was named in the Supreme Court's landmark motor finance judgment in August 2025. Like most motor finance lenders operating before the FCA ban in January 2021, Close Brothers operated commission arrangements with dealers. If your Renault finance agreement was arranged through Close Brothers before that date, there is a real possibility a commission arrangement affected the interest rate you were charged.
Which Renault models are covered?
Any Renault agreement financed through Close Brothers between 2007 and 2024 may be in scope, including models such as Clio, Megane, Kadjar, Captur and Zoe. Eligibility depends on the specific agreement, not the model.
Can I do this myself?
Yes. You can contact your lender directly to make a complaint, or refer your claim to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) yourself for free. The FCA's Consumer Redress Scheme is also designed to be accessible without legal representation.
Will making a claim affect my credit score?
No. Making a claim will not affect your credit score. This is a separate process from your credit history.
Do I need to find old paperwork?
No documents are required to get started. We can trace your finance agreements using basic personal details.
What if my lender has been taken over or has exited the market?
This is common for agreements going back to 2007. If the original lender has been acquired, merged, rebranded, or has exited the market, the successor firm typically inherits liability for historic agreements. We handle this on your behalf.
