What Are Mis-sold Car Finance Claims?

Car finance agreements, such as hire purchase (HP) or personal contract purchase (PCP), can be complex. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has discovered that commission was paid on 95% of these contracts, often without the customers’ knowledge. This hidden commission could have led to higher interest rates and additional costs, making the finance agreements less favourable for consumers.

If you entered into a PCP or HP contract and were not fully informed about the terms, commissions, or costs involved, you might have been mis-sold. Claimmyloss specialises in helping you claim compensation for these mis-sold car finance agreements.

How to Identify if You’ve Been Mis-sold Car Finance

It can be challenging to know if you have been mis-sold car finance. You might have been mis-sold a PCP or HP finance agreement if any of the following conditions apply:

  • You bought a car under a finance scheme (such as PCP or HP) before 28 January 2021.
  • A discretionary commission arrangement existed between your lender and broker.
  • You were not aware of the commission being made by the dealership.
  • You were not informed of additional costs, such as charges for damages.
  • If any of these situations apply to you, or if you felt pressured into taking out car finance, you may be eligible to make a claim.
