The Car Finance Compensation Scheme is in trouble because of a challenge. This means that people who were mis-sold car finance deals may have to wait to get their money.
A group that helps consumers called Consumer Voice is not happy with the plan that the Financial Conduct Authority came up with. They think the plan does not give people the amount of money they deserve.
The Financial Conduct Authority had planned to start giving people their money this summer. They said people would get around £829 each on average.. Consumer Voice says this is not enough.
Most people buy cars using finance agreements. The Financial Conduct Authority stopped this practice in 2021.. Now Consumer Voice is taking the scheme to court. They are working with a law firm called Courmacs. This law firm already represents over one million drivers who are seeking compensation.
The Financial Conduct Authority says its plan is the fairest way to give people their money back. They say that taking the scheme to court could slow things down and make people wait longer for their money.
