Anyone who entered a car finance agreement (such as PCP or HP) that was not sold transparently, where terms, commissions, and costs were not fully disclosed, or where the product was unsuitable for their needs, may be eligible. This includes agreements signed before certain regulatory changes were implemented by the FCA in January 2021.
The amount you can reclaim depends on a number of factors, including the size of your loan, the terms of your agreement and how much you were overcharged — be it through undisclosed commissions or inflated interest rates. On average, compensation comes to £1,600. In some cases, that has risen to over £3,000.
A Discretionary Commission Arrangement is when the amount of commission a car dealer or broker receives directly links to the interest rate of the car finance agreement they sell. In other words, the higher the interest rate they convince the customer to agree to, the higher their commission. This practice was banned by the FCA on 28 January 2021 to prevent financial incentives from influencing the cost of loans for consumers.
