PCP & HP Finance Claims: Know Your Rights and Reclaim What You’re Owed
What is PCP (Personal Contract Purchase)?
A PCP agreement is a popular way to finance vehicles, offering flexibility with lower monthly payments compared to traditional loans. Here’s how it works:
- You make an initial deposit.
- You pay fixed monthly installments over an agreed term.
- At the end of the term, you have three options:
- Return the car.
- Pay a final balloon payment to keep the car.
- Use the car’s value as a deposit for a new one.
Unfortunately, many PCP agreements were mis-sold. In some cases, consumers were not informed about the hidden commissions paid to car dealers by lenders, which may have inflated their overall costs.
What is HP (Hire Purchase)?
Hire Purchase agreements are straightforward finance options that allow you to eventually own your car. The process involves:
- An upfront deposit.
- Monthly payments spread across an agreed term.
- Ownership of the car upon final payment.
Similar to PCP, many HP agreements involved undisclosed commissions and misleading sales tactics that resulted in unfair costs for consumers.
The High Court Ruling and Claiming Delays
In a landmark case, the High Court ruled that lenders must provide compensation to consumers affected by undisclosed commissions and other unfair practices in PCP and HP agreements. This ruling has set a precedent, ensuring that consumers are better protected in the future.
However, due to the complexity of the case and the volume of potential claims, lenders and finance companies are delaying the claims process. This can be frustrating, but it’s important to remain patient. At Consumer Reclaim, we stay on top of these developments to ensure your case progresses as efficiently as possible.
