Reclaim Mis-Sold Car Finance Charges

From 2007 to 2020, thousands of UK drivers were sold car finance agreements with undisclosed commissions and unfair interest rates.

With Drivers Help, you can easily find out if your lender or dealer added hidden costs to your agreement, and claim back the money you’re owed.

Our quick online check takes just a few minutes and helps you understand if your finance deal was mis-sold.

Has Your Car Finance Been Mis-Sold?

Many drivers are unaware they could be eligible to reclaim money from past car finance agreements. With Drivers Help, you can check in minutes if hidden commissions or inflated rates affected your deal — and take the first step toward getting your money back.

Hidden Commissions

Undisclosed or Hidden
Commissions

Between 2007 and 2020, many car finance deals included hidden commissions that weren’t explained to drivers. Without full transparency, these agreements were often mis-sold, and you could be owed compensation.

Rates

Inflated Interest Rates and Overpayments

Before 2021, dealers could earn more commission by arranging loans with higher interest rates. This meant many drivers overpaid on their car finance, sometimes by thousands. Drivers Help can check if you were affected.

How does it work?

Car finance companies haven’t always been transparent, but you don’t have to miss out on what’s fairly yours. Drivers Help makes it easy to check if you’ve overpaid and start your claim with confidence.

Can I Make a Car Finance Claim?

Many drivers don’t realise their car finance agreements may have been mis-sold — or that hidden commissions and inflated interest rates could have been added without their knowledge. If any of the situations below sound familiar, you could be eligible to reclaim money from your lender.

Hidden Commissions

You bought a vehicle using car finance(such as Hire Purchase or Personal Contract Purchase).

Rates

You weren’t told the dealer received a commission when you took out your finance agreement.

What Is Mis-Sold Car Finance?

Many car finance deals between 2007 and 2020 included discretionary commissions that were not disclosed clearly to buyers. Dealerships and brokers often added hidden fees or inflated interest rates to cover these undisclosed commissions — leaving you paying more than necessary.


You weren’t given full transparency about how much the dealer earned or alternative financing options. In many cases, providers tailored commission levels based on what they thought you could afford, unfairly raising costs for you.


If your finance agreement is mis-sold, you might be owed compensation, and Drivers Help is here to help you claim it.
