Car finance mis-selling occurs when dealers or brokers fail to disclose critical information, such as commissions paid to them by lenders, or provide unclear terms that obscure the true cost of the finance agreement. Before 2021, many agreements included Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCAs), which allowed dealers to inflate interest rates to earn higher commissions without informing customers. This lack of transparency may have led to consumers paying significantly more than they needed to.
Our car finance mis-selling solicitors at Your Lawyers have extensive experience navigating these complex cases, ensuring you understand your rights and potential for compensation.
If you financed a car, van, or motorbike for personal use (including commuting) before 28 January 2021, you may have a valid claim. Key signs of mis-selling include not being informed about commissions, paying unexpectedly high interest rates, or receiving incomplete explanations of your finance terms.
For example, if a dealer did not disclose that they earned a commission for arranging your loan or failed to clarify ownership terms at the end of a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP) agreement, you could be eligible. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) estimates that 95% of car finance agreements involved commissions, with customers overpaying around £1,100 on average per £10,000 loan.
