    There is a case (which they will appeal) on the basis of commission not being disclosed at all, it's related to a case last week and is a long way from settled. I wouldn't count the cash just yet!

    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.

    Was this a normal loan or car finance,. HP/PCP?

    If it was a normal loan, then "commission reclaims" are irrelevant.

    If it was car finance, then read
