What is the Claim
Did you buy a used car or van on finance from one of Black Horse, Santander or MotoNovo between 1 October 2015 and 27 January 2021? If so, you might be part of the class and owed compensation.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority launched an investigation into discretionary commission. In its Final Findings, it stated that discretionary commission arrangements may be leading to significant consumer harm, and some customers are paying significantly higher interest rates than they would otherwise have paid under an alternative commission model.
The claims are to recover these losses on behalf of consumers who entered into finance agreements with Black Horse, Santander or MotoNovo.
