URGENT MINI POD: Car finance mis-selling confirmed: Will you get your money back?

About this episode

Martin explains the financial regulator's redress scheme for motorists mis-sold car finance deals.

In a special, urgent edition of the podcast, Martin explains what you need to know right now - as the financial regulator sets out its redress scheme for millions of motorists who were mis-sold finance deals. The scheme will apply to more than 12 million deals - and will cost lenders 9.1 BILLION pounds. So - who is included? Should you put in a complaint now? What vehicles are eligible? How do I know if it was mis-sold? Martin answers all those questions - and more. If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!) – so if you’ve always wanted to know what colour his eyes are, what he's planning to do in his eventual retirement, or have a very complicated question about your personal finances, email it to MartinLewisPodcast@bbc.co.uk.
