Old Car finance checker?

I've taken out so many loans and finance over the years its impossible to recall all of them.

I've seen adverts whereby you enter a few details and they show you your history of finance agreements for cars so you can then claim back and mis sold products.

Being caustious I assume everything is a scam or nefarious until proven otherwise so havent entered any details yet on any websites.

just asking if there is such a service though that shows you your finance history or is it all a sham?

    It's a scam, there is no such website (it would be a massive breach of GDPR for one) - it's the same as the PPI claims companies, all they will do is throw letters around at everyone they can think of and hope 1-2 bite

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I too think this is probably a scam but it may be worth asking there.

    100% a scam - there is no database for a claims company to look up your history on, they are just hoping they can find one by scattergun approach and then take a large chunk of refund
