First National Motor Finance Anyone got any ideas?

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone out there could help. I’m looking for an email to send my template for the motor reclaimed form to for:

First National Motor Finance

They aren’t on the list and looks like they now might be owned by Santander so I was wondering has anyone got any details for them or have had the same issue of knowing where to send the claim to? 

Many thanks all in advance for your help

    When did you buy the finance as the DCA issue only applies to post April 2007 sales.

    Abbey closed First National Motor Finance in 2003.  It sold the majority of First Nationals businesses to GE Consumer Finance.      GE than sold some of them to Santander in 2005.

  • Very unlikely your information still exists or that a pre April 2007 claim would have merit. That being said if it started in 03 but ended post April 08 you may have a shout as it gets the CCA cover. Finally iirc first national didn't sell finance through dealerships but I’ve slept since 2003, need a dealership involved for the right commission to exist. Sorry! No cigars all round.
