Hi, I have received a response from DCA enquiries and it states the following

"We can confirm that a DCA was in place between us and the credit broker relating to your finance agreement"

"As there was a DCA in place, we have forwarded your email to our Commissions department to log your complaint. You will receive a formal acknowledgement letter in the post, and we will begin to investigate the commission arrangement that was in place."

Do I need to do anything further, or do I just wait?

Thanks in advance

Nothing, this case is about hidden commission not DCA. The FCA said they'll issue an update on DCA within 6 weeks of this ruling, which hopefully will be overturned in any sane world

Wait, in 6 weeks the FCA will make an announcement of what their course of action is going to be. Likely some form of redress programme to start next year unless the Supreme Court throws the whole lot out.

I think that's correct.

Hi 
how do I find out if I’m owed any money on car finance that I’ve had ? 

And how do I claim it if I do ?

thanks in advance

Nobody is owed anything, you can use the DCA template on the MSE site if you want to register if you had DCA

Wait until the FCA come up with a report on DCA

If your question is about the hidden commission, write to the lender and ask to register a complaint but again it'll be with the FCA for a bit

Here is the latest from the FCA. 

If you had a DCA, lenders have until 30 January 2026 to send you a final response to your complaint.
