Scotland Diesel Claims?
Scotland Diesel Claims represents hundreds of owners of affected vehicles. We have already raised group proceedings in the Scottish Courts against some car manufacturers and we are currently registering new claims with a view to raising further court proceedings.  

Why should you pursue compensation?
Nitrous oxide emissions are polluting to health and to the environment.  Thousands of vehicles were wrongly marketed and sold as having cleaner diesel engines which produced lower Nitrous Oxide emissions, and complied with legal emissions limits.  Consumers were misled into buying or leasing vehicles which they believed complied with emissions standards and were better for the environment.  Many consumers feel that they purchased a trusted and reliable brand, and they feel let down by the manufacturer.  They may not have purchased or leased their vehicle had they known about the Scotland Diesel Emissions scandal.  They are concerned that the value of their vehicle has been affected by the scandal, or that it has affected their vehicle’s performance. Scotland Diesel Claims believe it is unacceptable for the public to be misled in this way and consumers are entitled to be compensated for the losses they have suffered.

Why does this matter?

When offering a finance product, the motor dealer must pay due regard to the customer’s needs and circumstances and ensure that the finance offered is suitable for that customer.

Motor dealers must disclose the existence of commission, and clearly explain the model of commission so that customers can make informed decisions about whether a finance product is right for them.

Motor dealers must disclose if the commission model may affect their impartiality in promoting a particular finance product or impact the customer’s decision making.

Commission models which allow the motor dealer to set the commission may lead to customers being charged higher interest rates than would otherwise be the case or being offered finance which is unsuitable or unaffordable.

How much compensation can I claim?

This will depend on a number of factors such as:
• The type of finance product
• The commission model
• The interest rate
• The size of the loan
• The length of the finance agreement It is estimated that on a typical 4-year motor finance agreement of £10,000, higher commission could result in the customer paying around £1,100 more in interest charges over the term of the agreement – a 50% increase in interest costs.
