Why Hartlepool drivers may be owed money
Between 2007 and 2021, millions of UK motorists — including thousands across Hartlepool — bought a car on finance without being told the dealer was earning commission. The FCA has since confirmed a redress scheme is underway, meaning drivers may be entitled to compensation for car lease claims.
