Late Husband

Options
Hello

Please could anyone tell me if I can reclaim car finance for my late husband? We have had a few cars over the years on finance (mainly HP) but the finance agreement was always in my late husbands name (because he earned more money than me). I can't remember exactly which finance company it would of been, but I do know it would of been Black Horse, Close Finance, Chartered Trust or Moto Novo. He also had motorbikes that were on finance, would I be able to do anything about that aswell? Thank you

    Is this in relation to mis-selling?

    Little point in doing anything further until the FSA review is published at the end of 2025.

    Keep in mind that nobody is able to "reclaim car finance", the issue is in relation to car finance (motorbikes aren't currently in scope) between a fixed period where dealers may have used DCA to inflate the interest rate you were offered in order to get more commission. You would be able to put in a complaint but you would need details of the finance, such as agreement numbers if there were quite old as the paperwork is likely to have been filed away or archived

    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.
