PCP Claim: get compensation for mis-sold car finance

Have I Been Mis-sold a Car Finance Agreement?

WHY

Car finance agreements like Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP) are significant financial commitments. That’s why you deserve full transparency when signing one—so you can make an informed, financially responsible decision.

HOW

You may be owed compensation due to possible disclosure failings related to your PCP or HP agreement. These include failures to properly disclose the commission earned by the person who arranged your contract and/or the ability to vary the interest rate applied—meaning you may have paid higher interest without even knowing it.

WHAT

If the commission was hidden or not clearly explained, you could be entitled to over £1,000 in compensation— per finance agreement.

Am I eligible for a PCP claim?

You may be eligible to make a claim with us if:

Condition 1/4

You have purchased one or more vehicles through a finance arrangement (such as PCP or HP) after 6th April 2007 and before 28th January 2021.

Condition 2/4

You were not informed about the existence, amount, or the method by which this commission arrangement was calculated.

Condition 3/4

You have not taken any steps to pursue compensation, either personally or through a representative.

Condition 4/4

All of the aforementioned conditions apply to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About PCP Claim

Yes, these claims likely fall within the scope of a statutory ombudsman, a statutory compensation scheme or an alternative dispute resolution scheme, meaning you can bring a claim yourself free of charge and without representation.

However, filing this type of claim yourself can be time-consuming. You may need to gather documents, submit a formal complaint to your lender, and explain how the mis-selling affected you. If they reject or ignore your claim, you may then need escalate it to the Financial Ombudsman. Instead, our team handles this for you —hassle-free and on a no-win, no-fee basis.

Please be aware that the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) may in the future introduce a consumer redress scheme which would allow you to pursue a claim for yourself free of charge. At this time the details of the scheme are unknown.
