Cruising down the open road in your new car – that's an exciting feeling, whether it's your first time experiencing the freedom of four wheels or you're trading in your trusty ride for the latest model. But confusing car finance agreements can throw a wrench into that excitement. The good news? You may be entitled to compensation if you suspect you were mis-sold car finance. At Justizia, we specialise in helping clients like you recover what you're owed.
This article will guide you through the murky waters of car finance and explore what to do if you suspect you were mis-sold. We'll delve into standard mis-selling practices, like limited option presentation, undisclosed commissions, and high-pressure tactics. We'll also discuss red flags to watch out for, such as a lack of transparency about interest rates and fees.
By understanding these tactics and your rights, you can take action and recover compensation if you were misled. This way, you can get back on the road and enjoy your new car purchase with peace of mind.
Common Mis-Selling Practices:
- Limited Option Presentation: Were you only offered one finance option, preventing you from comparing and choosing the best deal?
- Undisclosed Commissions: Were you pressured into a specific finance deal without knowing the salesperson earned a higher commission? For instance, were you offered a deal with a higher interest rate when a lower one was available, just because it would earn the salesperson a higher commission?
- High-Pressure Tactics: Did you feel rushed or coerced into signing a contract without fully understanding the terms and conditions?
- Lack of Transparency: Were crucial details about interest rates, fees, and total costs hidden or downplayed? Such as not being warned about the fees for ending the contract early?
Do these practices sound familiar? Were you only presented with one financing option, pressured into a specific deal with undisclosed high commissions for the salesperson, rushed into signing a contract without understanding the terms, or left in the dark about crucial details like interest rates and fees?
If you've experienced any of these situations, it's important to know that you might be able to make a claim for mis-sold car finance. Here's what you need to know:
