Claim Oodle Car Finance compensation

Recently, The Finance Conduct Authority (FCA) discovered that Oodle Car Finance is guilty of widespread misselling of their vehicle finance options and instead selling unaffordable car finance. Any customers that bought one of Oodle’s car finance options weren’t informed of any of the penalties for any missed payments or other defaults before signing any agreements. Therefore, the FCA determined the majority of Oodle customers were mis-sold car finance. At Claims Bible, we can help you to claim the Oodle car finance compensation you deserve.

Understanding Oodle car finance claims

Anyone can claim Oodle car finance if they believe they were mis-sold their car finance. The FCA uncovered that Oodle had mis-sold all different types of vehicle financing options. More and more customers are becoming more dissatisfied with their car finance options with Oodle car finance being no exception. The most common reasons why you might have been mis-sold car finance by Oodle include:

• Finance deals not being properly explained
• Being offered a finance package as a ‘recommendation’ instead of being shown a variety of deals
• You weren’t informed of certain details such as who’s responsible for repairs, who owns the vehicle, interest charges and credit checks to name a few

How to check you have a claim

There are no strict eligibility criteria to meet to claim Oodles’ car finance options. Your car finance is classed as being ‘mis-sold’ if you think the loan was unaffordable or if you think the lender did not carry out the correct affordability checks or failed to disclose the right information. Some other ways to check if you have a claim are:

• If the salesperson or lender failed to explain their commission procedure
• The terms and conditions of the arrangement were not explained
• If no finance credit checks were carried out
• If the best interest rate wasn’t offered to you
• You weren’t given clear transparency over the interest rates charged for all of the finance options

The only other aspect you’ll need to check is the name of the company you made your car finance payments to e.g. on your bank statements.

The deadline for making a claim against Oodle Car Finance
