What Is A Black Horse Finance Claim?

You may have a legal right to claim compensation from Black Horse Finance if you think you were mis-sold a car finance agreement by Black Horse when purchasing your vehicle.

You may be able to claim against Black Horse if the salesperson failed to provide to you all of the information about your car finance agreement, misled you, gave poor advice, or did not inform you of any commissions or interest being charged as part of the agreement.

The burden of proof is on Black Horse and/or the car dealership to show that they acted legally in all aspects of the process. If this cannot be proven, you may be entitled to reclaim money from Black Horse for your mis-sold car finance agreement.

It has been reported that Black Horse has already set aside £450 million to cover payments they may need to pay to customers that have been mis-sold car finance.

How To Check If I Was Mis-sold Car Finance By Black Horse?

You may be able to claim for mis-sold car finance if you bought a car or motor vehicle through PCP or HP finance set up by Black Horse between April 2007 and 28th January 2021, and the finance agreement was mis-sold.

Your Black Horse finance agreement may have been mis-sold if:

  • The car salesperson did not inform you they would receive a commission from Black Horse for setting up the financial agreement, known as a discretionary commission arrangement.
  • The car salesperson did not inform you of all the finance options available, including explaining the differences and responsibilities of each type of product
  • The car salesperson did not inform you, with complete transparency, of the interest rates charged for all finance options and how they may differ
  • The car salesperson did not offer the best interest rate available to you
  • The car salesperson did not adequately explain the details of the financial agreement, including the Terms and Conditions they sold you
  • The car salesperson did not conduct adequate affordability checks or talked you into an unaffordable finance agreement
  • The car salesperson used high-pressure sales tactics or did not give you adequate time to consider the agreement.

Black Horse or the car dealership representing them, are responsible for proving that they did all of these adequately. If they can’t prove they did all of them, you’ll be entitled to claim from them.

How Much Can I Claim From Black Horse For Mis-sold Car Finance Agreements?

The exact amount of compensation you could claim for a mis-sold car finance agreement from Black Horse will depend on several factors, including:

  • The size of the loan you took out with Black Horse – generally, the larger the loan, the more you’ll be owed and able to claim back
  • The length of the agreement – you’ll be owed more if you’ve been paying the loan for longer
  • The interest rate you paid and the difference between the rate quoted and the rate you could have been offered
  • In addition, the Financial Ombudsman Service awards a further 8% interest on the value of the overpayment.

However, in most cases, it is difficult to calculate accurately, as you will not know the interest rate you should have been charged.

From the thousands of client cases we are currently representing, we estimate the average compensation amount from Black Horse may be around £1,600.

Please note that this calculator only provides a rudimentary calculation of how much extra interest has been paid on a Hire Purchase agreement. The calculation will be different for PCP agreements and does not factor in the actual length of the agreement or any compensatory interest which may be awarded.

The calculation is illustrative, and under no circumstances should it be used or relied upon in the pursuit of a claim. If in doubt please take legal advice from a firm with suitable expertise, such as Bott and Co.
