What is missold car finance?
For years, car dealers and middlemen pocketed hidden commissions from Banks - up to 15% of your car’s value.
These payments were built into the interest you paid, costing you hundreds or even thousands of pounds more than necessary.
Based on major UK law firm estimates, the average payout per claim is £1,508.25. However, the actual amount varies based on key factors, including the lender and finance agreement, the level of undisclosed commission, and whether interest and fees are also refunded.

What changed?
A Landmark Court Ruling Has Turned the Tables
In October 2024, the UK Court of Appeal ruled that:
Car dealers and middlemen must have had your informed consent to take commissions from Banks.
Historically, nobody complied. Almost every car finance deal had hidden commissions that weren’t correctly disclosed to you.
This means your car finance agreement may have been unfair - and you could now be owed thousands.
What you could get back?
Refunds depend on a number of factors including loan amount, hidden commissions, interest charged, and repayment terms.
The average compensation is £1,508.25 per claim - but some are worth much more!
If you've had multiple car loans between 2007 and October 2024, you are likely entitled to a significantly higher refund!

Nothing upfront. We operate on a 'No Win, No Fee' basis, so there’s no risk of paying without receiving a successful claim. If your claim is successful, our fee is 30% + VAT (36% including VAT). This fee covers everything—from reviewing your claim to navigating the complexities and managing all the hard work—so you don’t have to. No upfront costs or hidden charges mean you’re never out of pocket. Please note, a cancellation fee may apply if you cancel outside the cooling-off period.
-
You do not need to use a claims management company to make a claim; you can do this yourself for free by contacting the car dealership or finance provider and if that is not successful you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
However, we believe our service offers real value due to the hard work we put in, our expert knowledge in assessing claims, checking offered compensation to ensure it is correct and appropriate, and our experience in dealing directly with lenders.
-
Registering now ensures your claim is prioritised and will be processed promptly following the Supreme Court’s anticipated ruling on car finance compensation for mis-sold loans in May 2025.
This approach maximises your chances of securing the full compensation you deserve. Submitting a claim before the ruling could result in lenders rejecting it or offering less than you may be entitled to after the decision. By waiting for this critical guidance, we ensure your claim is handled with the most accurate and up-to-date information, achieving the best possible outcome for you.
Any claims company offering to submit your claim immediately does without sight of the Supreme Court’s judgment. This may result in you not receiving the best outcome.
-
Most claims are resolved within a few months. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
We are also awaiting a Supreme Court judgment, expected in May 2025, which could open the door to additional claims for mis-sold loans.

A car finance claim is a process that allows you to seek compensation if you were mis-sold a car finance agreement or charged hidden commissions by a lender or dealer. If your agreement included unfair terms, you could be eligible to reclaim thousands of pounds.

Hidden commissions occur when a car dealer or broker receives a payment from the lender without informing you and getting your consent. These commissions often lead to higher interest rates, costing you more over the term of your agreement. By law, lenders and dealers must disclose these commissions. Almost all car finance agreements contain these commissions.

The amount of compensation depends on your specific agreement and the extent of unfair practices involved. Many customers have successfully reclaimed thousands of pounds. Our team will assess your case and provide a clear estimate of what you could recover.
