What is a Kia Finance PCP Claim?
A Kia PCP claim is a request for compensation if your personal contract purchase (PCP) or hire purchase (HP) car finance agreement with Kia Finance was mis-sold.
Following the UK Supreme Court ruling in August 2025, most successful claims now focus on whether the agreement created an “unfair relationship” under Section 140A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. This can happen if the lender or broker failed to explain key information, charged excessive or hidden commissions, or didn’t properly assess affordability.
If your PCP or HP deal with Kia Finance was mis-sold, you may have overpaid. You can make a claim directly to your lender for free, or through a PCP claims management company like PCP ClaimBack (we are an independent claims management company and not associated with Kia Finance), who can assess your case, handle the paperwork, and guide you on next steps. If your lender rejects your complaint, you can escalate it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Am I eligible for a refund from Kia Finance?
Have you signed a PCP or HP agreement with Kia between 2007 and 2021? If so, you could be eligible to make a car finance claim and receive compensation.
Up to 95% of car finance agreements had some form of commission paid to the broker or dealer, and around 40% involved hidden ‘discretionary commission arrangements’ (DCAs).
There were two main types of commission:
- Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCAs)
These were a type of car finance commission where the dealer could increase your interest rate to earn a higher commission for themselves. This practice, often hidden from the customer, was banned by the FCA in 2021 for being unfair. Many DCA claims focus on recovering the extra interest and costs you paid because of this arrangement. - Fixed Commission Arrangements (Non-DCAs)
These involved set payments, regardless of the interest rate, but may still be unfair in some cases.
If you signed one of these car finance agreements, you might have overpaid without knowing. With the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) now investigating these arrangements, you could be due a refund.
You have nothing to lose from making a claim if you believe you’re eligible. You can’t be blacklisted or receive a different service if you make a complaint. So, if you took out a PCP car finance agreement before 28 January 2021, making a claim could get you a great result.
Did you buy a car on PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) or HP (Hire Purchase) finance with Kia Finance? If you did, you’re a good candidate for compensation. You may have been mis-sold this type of car financing, and you could claim money you’re due.
Discretionary commission arrangements involved charging higher interest so brokers could earn more commission. If your agreement had an above-average APR, you might have paid too much. The salesperson might have also failed to explain the interest rate and how it was calculated.
Lenders like Kia Finance should carry out affordability checks as part of responsible lending practices. This is to ensure you can repay what you borrow and they’re not putting you at financial risk. If they didn’t do this, that could mean they owe you money.
Your lender and broker should have been up-front about their relationships with each other and how that affected how their finance agreements were structured. A lack of transparency could be grounds for a refund because you didn’t enter into the finance agreement with complete knowledge of what you were agreeing to.
Kia Finance may not have told you about sales commissions, who was earning them, and how much they were. This poor transparency from Kia Finance indicates that you didn’t have full knowledge of what you were purchasing and why you were being charged the amounts that were set.
Perhaps Kia Finance did tell you about sales commissions, but they didn’t tell you how much they were. This could also be a reason to make a claim and see if you can get some money back from what you have already paid.

Yes, if you have PCP finance agreements for more than one vehicle, you can make multiple claims. You can also claim for cars you bought second-hand.
The length of the claim process can vary, depending on the exact circumstances. It could take only a few months if you’re eligible and Kia Finance accepts responsibility for selling the finance. However, the process can be longer and there’s no exact timeframe.
The FCA initially paused motor finance complaints until 25 September 2024, but this has now been extended to 4 December 2025 while the regulator continues its investigation into discretionary commission arrangements. On 7 October 2025, the FCA also announced plans for an industry-wide redress scheme to compensate affected consumers, with payments expected to begin in 2026.
You can still submit a complaint to your finance provider, but they are not required to respond until after the new deadline unless the FCA announces any change to this. To find out more, visit: https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/car-finance-complaints

Customers should be aware of the risks of instructing multiple representatives for the same motor finance claim.
If you already have an existing representative handling your claim, appointing another may lead to:
- Cancellation or administrative fees from your current representative
- Delays or complications in processing your claim
To avoid any issues, we strongly recommend that you:
- Check your terms and conditions before instructing another representative
- Confirm whether you already have an active representative handling the claim
Being aware of these risks will help you make informed decisions and ensure your claim is handled smoothly.
No – under FCA guidance, each consumer should only have one representative acting on a single car finance complaint at a time. Having multiple companies claim on your behalf can lead to delays, confusion, and unnecessary fees.
