Mercedes Car Finance Mis-selling Response

Hi All

I've just received a response from Mercedes that says -

'After checking our records, we can confirm that we did not pay a discretionary commission to the dealer. As your agreement was not subject to a discretionary model, we're not treating your enquiry as a data access request or complaint'

Does that effectively mean end of the road as far as my claim goes or can I push back?

Many thanks

    If you've evidence that a major finance company is lying then yes there will be no compensation for not having had non-negative DCA

    Push back against what?

    You didn't overpay due to a DCA.

    Time to let it go.
