Did you buy a motor vehicle on finance between 2007 and 2020?

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has investigated car finance and estimates that a staggering 4 out of 10 finance agreements could have been mis-sold between 2011 and 2020. They are also looking into car finance deals as far back as 2007, so even more car buyers could be affected.  

​

Some car retailers received commission from certain lenders that was linked to the interest rate customers were charged. Some dealerships also set the interest rate, which gave them an incentive to sell more expensive credit – going directly against their customers’ best interests. As a result, mis-sold car finance may have cost UK consumers £300,000,000 every year.
