Important Update – FCA Motor Finance Compensation Scheme
Updated 7 October 2025
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced plans for a free, industry-wide compensation scheme for customers affected by unfair motor-finance commission arrangements.
The FCA estimates consumers could receive around £700 per agreement, with lenders expected to pay up to £8.2 billion in total compensation.
Unlike some firms, Belmond Claims has never advertised inflated claim values, so this update does not affect the accuracy of our past communications.
We remain fully committed to helping consumers secure fair outcomes by:
- Checking historic car-finance and credit agreements
- Identifying undisclosed or unfair commission and irresponsible lending practices
- Investigating other insurance or credit-linked mis-selling where customers may have paid more than they should
- Guiding customers through the redress process, including any FCA-approved scheme
Trust • Expertise • Guidance
Transparent advice, verified data, and hands-on expertise at every step.
