The FCA has announced an industry-wide redress scheme for mis-sold car finance.

Payments are expected to start later in 2026 and most claims to be settled by the end of 2027. [Evidence from multiple outlets reporting the FCA’s scheme details and timelines] [cite ][cite ]
Eligibility covers motor finance agreements within a broad window (roughly 2007–2024, depending on scheme rules), with adjustments to eligibility and payout ranges made as the program evolved. Expect averages around £830 per contract in some updates, though exact amounts depend on individual circumstances. [Coversage from FCA updates and industry summaries] [cite ]
