Short answer
Motor finance commission complaint enquiries should identify the finance agreement, vehicle, broker or dealer, lender, commission disclosure, complaint date, firm response, FCA scheme context, Financial Ombudsman stage and desired outcome. Legal4U cannot decide compensation or whether a relationship was unfair.

Flag Scheme, Limitation And Parallel Claim Questions
