Manchester, UK - January 12, 2026 - With growing awareness of mis-sold car finance in the UK, questions are now being asked about how car finance deals were structured in the past, whether commission was added, and how clearly the full cost was explained.
Reclaim247, a leading name in car finance claims, is seeing steady growth in people checking their eligibility for compensation. With thousands of drivers having financed several vehicles over the past decade, the company encourages customers to think beyond their latest agreement and revisit them all.
“Many drivers come to us not because something felt wrong at the time, but because they’re now noticing things that weren’t clearly explained,” said Franks. “It might be a large end payment, a high interest rate, or something they didn’t realise was part of the deal. We help them make sense of it.”
Why More Drivers Are Asking Questions
According to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), millions of agreements signed between April 2007 and November 2024 could involve mis-sold car finance. Some of the most common problems include:
Discretionary Commission Arrangements
Where a broker increased the interest rate to earn a higher commission, without the customer’s knowledge.
Unfairly High Commission
Where the broker’s fee was far above what was reasonable for the size of the loan.
Contractually Tied Arrangements
Where the driver believed they were seeing a range of options but were only offered one finance product.
These issues affect both standard hire purchase and PCP agreements.
Why PCP Claims Often Go Unnoticed
PCP claims are especially common. The monthly payments often seemed affordable, but the bigger costs were hidden at the end. Drivers were not always told about the balloon payment in clear terms or how their interest rate was set.
“It’s common for questions to come up well after the deal has ended,” added Franks. “That doesn’t mean it’s too late. In many cases, older agreements can still be reviewed.”
A Simple, Supportive Way to Check
Reclaim247’s free eligibility checker takes less than a minute to complete. Drivers do not need documents or knowledge of who their lender was. They simply enter their name, address, and date of birth. The system then searches for historical finance agreements and checks for signs of mis-selling.
If eligible, they are connected with a regulated legal firm that manages the claim on their behalf. There is no cost to begin and no fee unless compensation is successfully recovered.
Every Agreement Matters – Not Just the Most Recent
Many people have had several car finance deals over the years, especially through PCP. Each one deserves review. Even if the car has been returned or sold, the agreement may still qualify.
