What is a Close Brothers Finance PCP Claim?
A Close Brothers finance claim refers to a compensation request for mis-sold car finance agreements. If you purchased a car through PCP or HP before January 2021, you may have unknowingly overpaid due to discretionary commission arrangements (DCA). These DCAs allowed dealers and lenders to manipulate interest rates, increasing their commission at your expense.
In January 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) banned discretionary commissions, confirming that many finance agreements were unfair. Customers who took out loans through Close Brothers can now check their eligibility for refunds, with some claims exceeding £6,000.
Martin Lewis’ Car Finance Claim Quote
“In about 40% of car finance deals, there were hidden ‘discretionary commission arrangements’. This is where lenders allowed brokers & car dealers to up the interest to increase their commission – so you overpaid, without knowing.”

Why Were Close Brothers Finance Agreements Mis-Sold?
Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCA)
Dealers and brokers increased interest rates without informing customers, maximising their own commission at the borrower’s expense. Many borrowers overpaid thousands unknowingly.
Failure to Disclose Fees and Commission
The law requires full transparency on fees and commissions, but many lenders failed to disclose how much commission was added to the loan.
Higher-Than-Average Interest Rates
Interest rates varied significantly between borrowers, even when their credit profiles were similar. This discrepancy often resulted in borrowers paying more than necessary.
Lack of Proper Affordability Checks
Lenders were required to check whether the borrower could afford the repayments. However, many did not carry out adequate affordability checks, leading to financial hardship for consumers.
