    You wait for the redress scheme to be put in place, then if eligible you will be contacted.

    You wait the redress scheme but temper your expectations. 

    Remember DCA worked in both directions, the typical lender would have offered the dealer a "standard" rate of both interest and commission. The dealer could choose to increase the interest and receive a bigger commission or forgo their commission and reduce the interest rate. 

    In principle it could be argued that if DCA was so wrong that you should be faced with a bill as if the dealer had given you the standard interest rather than reducing it for you by not taking commission. Realistically thats not going to happen and those that received beneficial or neutral DCA will be left alone and those where it was detrimentally used against them are likely to receive some form of compensation.

    DCA can be postive, neutral or negative.  
    positive lowers the rate (potentially to zero)
    neutral means it was available to use but wasn't
    negative means it increases the rate.

    So, its possible to have an agreement that could use DCA but not result in redress.

    Doesn't matter, someone could be a bad credit risk and got high APR without any DCA 

    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 suspect many chasing a payout fall into that category although they will not admit it.
