Am I Eligible for a Ford Credit (FCE) Claim?
If you purchased a car, van, or motorcycle on Ford Credit (FCE) finance between 2007 and January 2021, you may be eligible for compensation. Following the Supreme Court ruling and FCA action, Ford Credit (FCE) customers could be owed refunds for unfair hidden commissions that inflated their interest rates.
You Could Be Eligible If:
You bought a vehicle on PCP or HP finance between 2007 and January 2021
This timeframe covers the period during which widespread mis-selling occurred in the car finance industry. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) began handling motor finance complaints from April 2007 and banned discretionary commission arrangements in January 2021.
Ford Credit (FCE) did not tell you about sales commissions
Your finance provider had a legal obligation to disclose if they were paying commission to the dealer or broker. If Ford Credit (FCE) hid this information from you, it creates an unfair relationship under Section 140A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.
Ford Credit (FCE) mentioned commissions but didn't explain how much or how they worked
Even if commission was mentioned, you may still have a claim if Ford Credit (FCE) didn't tell you the amount or that the dealer could set your interest rate higher to earn more commission (known as a Discretionary Commission Arrangement).
You paid a high interest rate
If your annual purchase rate was above 4.9% (the average APR for car finance), you may have been charged an inflated rate. The FCA found that consumers paid on average £1,100 more in interest due to these arrangements.
Ford Credit (FCE) wasn't thorough with affordability checks
Lenders are required by FCA guidelines to ensure you can afford the loan payments. If Ford Credit (FCE) didn't conduct proper affordability checks and you struggled to meet payments, you may have a valid claim.
The dealer/broker didn't disclose their relationship with Ford Credit (FCE)
Dealers should have informed you about any commercial relationships with Ford Credit (FCE), including potential conflicts of interest.
What Types of Agreements Are Covered?
Claims can be made for:
- Both new and used vehicles purchased through finance
- Active agreements where you're still making payments
- Agreements that have ended and been fully paid off
- Multiple vehicles (you can claim for each eligible agreement)
- Vehicles that were repossessed
- All types of vehicles: cars, vans, trucks, and motorcycles
The FCA estimates that 95% of car finance agreements included some form of commission model, with approximately 40% featuring the now-banned discretionary commission arrangements. With compensation averaging around £950 per agreement (according to FCA estimates), checking your eligibility could lead to a significant refund.
Ford Credit (FCE) PCP Claims - What You Need to Know
Ford Credit (FCE) is a UK merchant banking group providing lending, deposit taking, wealth management and securities trading. Claims against Ford Credit (FCE) often involve PCP/HP finance agreements with hidden commission arrangements.
What is a PCP Claim?
A PCP claim asks a lender to put right a car finance deal where the cost was pushed up by undisclosed, interest-linked commission. It's about getting compensation for deals where hidden fees made you pay more than you should have.
Discretionary Commission Arrangements
Before January 2021, many lenders let dealers/brokers set your APR higher and earn more for doing so. This was called a Discretionary Commission Arrangement (DCA), and the FCA banned it in 2021 because it was unfair to customers.
Supreme Court Decision
On 1 August 2025, the UK Supreme Court confirmed customers can still win where the overall deal was unfair under section 140A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. The Court looks at what you were told, how your rate was set, and the effect on what you paid.
FCA Response & Scale
The FCA will consult on an industry-wide redress scheme. The scale is massive: 25.9 million motor-finance agreements between 2007-2021, with 14.6 million using DCAs and about £8.1 billion of commission paid.
In short: A PCP claim is about whether an undisclosed commission influenced your interest rate and made you pay more than you should have. If the relationship was unfair, you could be entitled to refunds of extra interest/charges. No outcome is guaranteed.
What is my Ford Credit (FCE) Claim worth?
The mis-sold car finance average payout is estimated at £950 per agreement according to FCA figures. However, several factors can influence the final compensation amount you might receive from Ford Credit (FCE).
Factors Affecting Your Claim Value
Important: Multiple Finance Agreements = Higher Compensation
If you had multiple finance agreements between 2007 and 2021, your potential compensation could be significantly higher. For example, with 3 eligible agreements, you could potentially receive around £2,850 (£950 x 3).
