Car Finance 

A recent investigation by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found that lots of people in the UK have been hit with hidden charges on car loans, especially Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) deals. It turns out, approximately 8 out of 10 cars bought through these deals have overcharged customers so dealers can pocket more commission.

Got a Car on Finance?

If you've financed a car through PCP or a car loan, you might've paid more than you should've. We can help you claim back thousands of pounds if:

  • You weren't told about other finance options.
  • The dealership didn't tell you about the commission they were getting.
  • You weren't warned about fees for ending the contract early.
  • You were misled about interest rates.
  • You got bad advice on how much the car would be worth at the end of the deal.

Compensation may include refunding interest and fees paid, removing negative marks from your credit report, and possibly additional damages for financial distress caused.
