0% PCP

I took out a 0% Interest PCP in March 2023 with Mercedes Finance and am wondering if I could claim undisclosed commission fees. I am pretty sure the price of the car was loaded to compensate the interest free plan.

    DCAs were outlawed in 2021!

    Was it a brand new Mercedes from a franchised dealer?

    If it was a rare model and you paid over list price then more fool you.

    a) DCA didnt exist in 2023.
    b) It has been a common marketing method to shift the profits from one part of the deal to another.  That is allowed.

    I have assumed you are not creating a joke thread.  You may want to add a smiley if you are.
