PCP Car Finance Claims – What You Need to Know

The Supreme Court has recently ruled on commission arrangements in car finance. Most claims against non-DCA agreements are unlikely to succeed, except in certain circumstances.

Introduction:

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) became one of the UK’s most popular ways to buy a car. But many customers were not given the full picture about costs, commissions, or terms. Recent court decisions have clarified that only certain types of agreements may qualify for claims, but if you fall into one of these categories, you could still be entitled to compensation.

Possible Exceptions:

• Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCAs)
• Active concealment of commission
• Other regulatory breaches or clear mis-selling

Case Example (Illustrative):

A driver later discovered their dealer had set a higher interest rate to increase their commission. This DCA arrangement had never been explained. We review cases like this to see if clients may have a valid claim.

What You Need to Know:

• Not every PCP claim will qualify — only certain agreements may be eligible
• Evidence such as finance agreements and payment schedules helps
• Even if you’ve finished paying, you may still be able to bring a claim

FAQ’s

Can I claim if I’ve already finished paying my PCP?

Yes, if your agreement involved a DCA or another qualifying issue.

Do I need all my finance paperwork?

It helps, but we can often trace details if you don’t have it.

Are all PCP claims successful?

No, but cases involving DCAs or other qualifying issues may be eligible.
