Undisclosed or hidden commission

An estimated 95% of vehicle finance agreements from April 2007 to the present day included commission payments. Most consumers were unaware of these commissions, meaning they couldn’t give informed consent. As a result, these agreements were likely mis-sold, and affected consumers may be entitled to compensation.

Inflated prices and interest rates

Before the FCA banned Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCAs) in 2021, car dealerships could receive higher commissions by signing people up to loans with higher interest rates. Even where there was no DCA, car dealerships could make a fixed commission.  This means many people overpaid on interest, potentially costing them thousands of pounds

Sales people mis-leading you

Hire purchase (HP) and personal contract purchase (PCP) deals are popular but not always the best fit. If salespeople didn’t clearly explain your options, you might be stuck with the wrong contract.

Failure to conduct affordability checks

Credit brokers and lenders must ensure loans are affordable by checking your financial situation. If they failed to do this, you could be stuck in an unaffordable agreement. You may be eligible for compensation.
