Frequently Asked Questions.
Which brokers and dealerships can I claim against?
Any broker, dealer or car finance provider that sold you a PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) or HP (Hire Purchase) agreement is covered.
In light of the FCA investigation, we have also opened up the criteria for motor finance compensation claims. If you had a PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) or HP (Hire Purchase) agreement between April 2007 – January 2021*, you are now eligible to submit a claim with Barings Law.
*If your lender is Moneybarn, Oodle, or Advantage, you are not eligible to make a complaint about discretionary commission arrangements. Instead, you may be eligible to make a complaint about the affordability of your finance agreement. To be eligible for this type of complaint your finance agreement must have been entered into between February 2018–2024.
My agreement has finished – can I still claim?
My agreement is still ongoing – can I still claim?
Can I claim for more than one PCP/HP contract?
Yes, you can claim for any PCP or HP agreements you have had between April 2007 – January 2021.
How much compensation will I receive?
The compensation amount will vary on a case-by-case basis.
The amount customers have been overcharged will fluctuate, with the total depending on the cost of the vehicle, the interest rate applied, and the duration of the contract.
How much will it cost?
How is compensation awarded?
There are various ways that compensation can be awarded. These include:
- Cash compensation payments made directly to Barings
- Balance write-offs of the amount, or part of the amount, you owe to the defendant
If the defendant pays a lump sum directly to Barings, we will deduct our success fees and transfer you the remaining balance.
If the defendant offers you a balance write-off, and you don’t receive the damages directly, we will seek payment of our success fee directly from you. This will equal our success fee percentage of the amount which the defendant has agreed to write-off.
We appreciate that clients may not be able to pay all of our fees in one go. Therefore, we encourage our clients to contact us to discuss how they will pay our fees on a payment plan.
