Thu, 31 Jul 2025 Car finance compensation landmark ruling due

The Supreme Court's decision due later could pave the way for millions of drivers to claim payouts.

* The UK's Supreme Court will decide whether hidden commission payments to car dealers were unlawful, potentially paving the way for millions of motorists to claim compensation.
* Around 9 in 10 new cars are bought on finance, and a decision could lead to billions of pounds being claimed by people who bought cars over many years.
* Many thousands of car buyers are already in line for payouts, but this case could widen the pool of potential claimants significantly.
* Major lenders have set aside huge amounts of money in preparation for such a scenario, with the possibility of payouts approaching the levels seen during the PPI scandal.
