You have a choice when making a PCP mis-selling claim:
Option A: Claim Directly
Option B: Use a Claims Company
There's no legal requirement to use a claims company. Many people successfully claim on their own. But claims companies exist for a reason—they make the process simpler and faster.
A claims company (like MotorRedress or others) essentially works as your agent. Here's the process:
Most claims companies operate on a "no win, no fee" basis:
Let's say your claim is worth £800.
If You Claim Directly:
If You Use a Claims Company (20% fee):
If You Claim Directly But Make a Mistake:
Not referencing FCA findings - Just saying "I was mis-sold" isn't enough.
Incomplete documentation - Missing the original credit agreement means the lender can reject you.
Vague complaints - Just saying "I didn't know about commission" is weaker than detailing exactly what wasn't disclosed.
Wrong lender contact - Sending to the dealer instead of the finance company.
Missing the deadline - Forgetting about the 8-week response window, then the 6-month Ombudsman escalation window.
Accepting a low offer - Not understanding that you can negotiate or escalate a partial rejection.
Claiming Directly Success Rate: ~60-70% of claims that reach the lender succeed
Why? Some people file incomplete claims. Some don't escalate to the Ombudsman when rejected.
Claims Company Success Rate: ~85-90% of claims succeed
Why? Professional firms don't make basic mistakes. They escalate properly. They know how to strengthen weak cases.
Speed is roughly the same. The difference is stress and effort.
Summary: You can claim directly and keep 100%, but claims companies handle the work for 15-25% of compensation. Direct claims work best for organized, detail-oriented people with time. Claims companies suit those who prefer to outsource the complexity. Success rates are similar; the main difference is effort vs. money.
