#TalkMoneyWeek: Car Finance Misselling


Talk Money Week Border with ACT logo inside and wording 'been missold car finance?' Picture is of a car on top of a calculator

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is currently investigating concerns regarding motor finance firms and their unfair practice towards their borrowers. This is because many customers believed they were being charged a fixed price on their car finance, however, concerns were raised when they felt they were being overcharged and the dealers were increasing their commission without doing any work.


In January 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority placed a ban on ‘Discretionary Commission Arrangements’. This meant car brokers/dealers were not permitted to increase interest rates on car finance. Despite this, there was a noticeable increase in the number of PCP claims regarding compensation for mis-sold car finance plans in 2021. It is suggested that more than 10,000 people were affected by this misselling scheme.


How do I know if I have been miss-sold Car Finance?

The FCA has suggested two main points that could suggest you have been affected by this issue:

1. You bought a Car under a Finance Scheme (e.g. – Hire purchase or personal contract purchase) before 28 January 2021.

2. There was a discretionary commission Ar- rangement between your lender and broker.

If you had finance on a vehicle before January 2021, you may be affected and could claim com- pensation. To find out more information or find out how to make a claim, this is a useful link to use: Car finance FREE reclaim tool & guide | MSE (moneysavingexpert.com)

Điều mình khá để ý ở https://shbetz.net/  là lúc dùng trên nhiều thiết bị khác nhau, phần hiển thị vẫn giữ được sự nhất quán tương đối. Có hôm mình kiểm tra nhanh trên điện thoại rồi mở lại trên máy tính, thao tác nhìn chung vẫn khá thuận mắt. Mình cũng khá chú ý việc nền tảng đầu tư cho bảo mật nên cảm giác sử dụng ổn định hơn.

Có lần mình thử xem liệu một nền tảng có thể tạo cảm giác quen thuộc ngay từ bước luck8 đăng nhập hay không. Sau khi truy cập, mình dành thời gian mở game bài rồi chỉ quan sát cách điều hướng giữa các khu vực. Điều mình nhận ra là website không cố gắng làm mọi thứ quá nổi bật mà giữ cách trình bày khá cân đối. Sau đó mình mới để ý khu vực hỗ trợ khách hàng hoạt động 24/7 luôn khá dễ tìm. Cá nhân mình đánh giá cao kiểu thiết kế mà người dùng gần như không phải mất thời gian tìm kiếm khi cần.
