UK drivers are no longer taking past finance deals at face value. With rising awareness of mis sold car finance, more people are stepping forward to challenge unfair practices and reclaim what they may be owed. Reclaim247 is helping them do just that, using a simple, paper-free process to support car finance claims and PCP claims across the UK.
Manchester, UK – December 2025 – A wave of consumer awareness is reshaping the UK automotive finance landscape, as drivers begin to take a closer look at the real cost of their vehicle agreements. For years, the fine print behind car finance was rarely questioned. Now, that is changing.
Reclaim247, one of the UK’s most trusted names in claims support, has seen a clear increase in enquiries from people who believe their past finance deals may have been mis-sold. With more than 500,000 car finance claims already supported, the company is helping UK motorists challenge practices that were once overlooked, particularly around hidden interest charges and undisclosed commissions.
A Shift in the Way Drivers View Finance Deals
Car finance has long been sold on the strength of monthly payments. For many, if the payment felt affordable, the deal seemed acceptable. But as the industry faces scrutiny, more drivers are asking whether the terms behind those payments were as fair as they appeared.
“We’re seeing a real shift in mindset,” said Andrew Franks, Co-Founder of Reclaim247. “Drivers are looking back and realising they were never told how their interest rate was calculated or whether the broker earned a commission. These are not small details. They affect what people paid and what they were entitled to know.”
This changing awareness has led to a surge in PCP claims, as drivers discover their agreements included large balloon payments or complex end-of-term charges that were not clearly explained.
What Counts as Mis Sold Car Finance?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has already confirmed that a range of finance deals signed between April 2007 and November 2024 may have involved unfair practices, such as:
- Discretionary Commission Arrangements – where brokers raised the interest rate to earn more commission, without informing the customer
- Unfairly High Commission – where the fee paid to the broker was significantly higher than expected
- Contractually Tied Arrangements – where drivers were told they had options but were only shown one lender’s product
Each of these practices can lead to a valid car finance claim or PCP claim, even if the agreement ended years ago.
Simple Claims Process With No Upfront Cost
Reclaim247 offers a free eligibility check that takes less than a minute to complete. Drivers enter their name, address and date of birth — no paperwork, contract, or lender information is needed. The system searches for past vehicle agreements and flags any that show signs of mis sold car finance.
If a potential claim is identified, the customer is partnered with a regulated legal firm who manages the case. There is no pressure to proceed and no fee unless compensation is successfully recovered.
New Standards for Accountability in the Auto Sector
The rise in PCP claims is doing more than helping individual drivers. It is sending a clear message to the industry about transparency and fairness.
Reclaim247 believes this is the start of a long-overdue rebalancing in the relationship between lenders and customers. What was once buried in the fine print is now front and centre. And as more drivers come forward, the push for fairness in car finance continues to grow.
