What is the FCA’s proposed car finance redress scheme, and how does it affect you?

The FCA has announced a potential industry wide redress scheme for car finance mis-selling, but will it truly deliver fair compensation for consumers?

With lenders setting aside only £1.7 billion for redress while estimates suggest the real figure could exceed £90 billion, there are serious concerns about whether consumers will receive the compensation they deserve.

In this episode, Sam Ward sits down with Mike Arnall, Director of Operations at Sentinel Legal, to discuss:

• What the FCA’s redress scheme really means for consumers
• Why banks have underreported their financial exposure and may owe billions more
• The Supreme Court’s decision to block Treasury’s intervention and what it means for compensation claims
• The hidden commission structures that cost consumers thousands without their knowledge
• Why taking action now is critical before lenders attempt to limit payouts

How do I check if I was mis-sold car finance? Sentinel Legal is leading the fight to hold lenders accountable, ensuring every affected consumer can claim what they are owed.
