My Finance Claim and Pogust Goodhead have been investigating cases and have found that anyone who entered into a personal contract purchase (PCP) or hire purchase (HP) agreement could be eligible to claim significant compensation.
If you were not informed thoroughly about a PCP or HP agreement and the costs involved throughout the contract, you could be eligible to join the finance claim.
The experts at My Finance Claim believe customers of PCP and HP contracts could have been charged thousands more than they should have been, and we are aiming to claim back what you are owed. Compensation amounts will vary, determined by, but not limited to:
Some people were hit by high interest or additional charges and therefore had to take out another loan to help finance the agreement. You can check your eligibility in seconds with My Finance Claim, and we could help you claim significant compensation.

If you feel like you were put under pressure to opt into a finance agreement that you didn’t feel was right for you but were told it was the best deal, or if you think you match any of the eligibility criteria outlined above, you may be eligible for significant compensation.
A recent Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) investigation into finance agreements, the FCA discovered extensive evidence of mis-selling of all types of UK car finance agreements.
The FCA found that some dealerships failed to adequately present all finance options available to customers, failed to perform affordability/credit checks, and have been overcharging their customers by adjusting the interest rates, meaning larger commission payments would have been made to the dealership by the finance provider.
If you previously financed your vehicle and you believe you have been mis-sold an agreement for the non-disclosure of commissions received by the dealership, or you were inadequately informed of hidden costs and interest rates, you could be eligible to claim compensation.
To be eligible, your finance agreement must have been initiated between April 2007 and January 2021.
