FCA’s report on Motor Finance
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) conducted a report on motor finance, highlighting the potential risks posed by personal contract purchase (PCP) agreements. PCP agreements have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they offer consumers the opportunity to spread the cost of a new car over a longer period of time.
However, the report warned that PCP agreements can be “complex and confusing”, and that some consumers may end up paying more than they expected. In particular, the report warned that some consumers may be unaware of the “balloon payment” that is required at the end of a PCP deal. This can often result in them being unable to afford to keep the car, leading to it being repossessed.

Areas of Mis-Selling
When it comes to buying a car on finance, it’s important to be aware of what you are signing up to. If you think you may have been mis sold car finance, here are some of the most common areas of mis-selling to look out for by car dealers:
Did the salesman pressure you into signing the contract?
Were there any hidden costs or fees associated with the purchase of your car? Did they disclose the amount of commission?
Did the dealer promise you a certain interest rate/higher interest charges, but then change it when the contract was signed?
Were you given a full copy of the contract/agreement in advance allowing you to read before signing?
Did the dealer explain all of the terms and conditions of the contract?
