MIS-SOLD CAR FINANCE – MAJOR UPDATE - ACT NOW

After several months of deliberation, on 1st August 2025 the UK Supreme Court published its findings into

.


The reason this has taken so long is since the first 3 claims were upheld in 2024, both car dealerships and finance lenders counter claimed the practise of undisclosed commissions was not against UK Consumer Law and was challenged in the High Court and then the Appeals Court. ​The Supreme Court has now ruled and declared between 2008 and 2021 any car purchased the interest rate charged and size of the dealer commission could be unfair to the UK consumer.

​​

The UK Financial Regulator (FCA) is about to set out its rules for compensation. This is likely to be any car finance agreement between 2008 and 2021 with an interest rate 3% or above, when the Bank of England Base Rate was only 0.5%.

With 40% of car finance taken out using Discretionary Commission Arrangements, the Supreme Court ruling means 9.6 MILLION UK motorists could be in line for £15-20BN in compensation.
