Car Finance Chaos. The Consumer Solicitor Who Took On The Lenders, And Won!

Could you be owed money from a car finance agreement? In this eye-opening episode of Get Legally Speaking, Hatti Suvari is joined by Kevin Durkin of HD Law — the consumer solicitor who helped take on major lenders in one of the UK’s most significant car finance commission cases. This episode is in plain and simple English, breaking down what the car finance issue means, why it matters, and what consumers need to know. What began as a consumer dispute became a legal battle with consequences for millions of drivers, reaching all the way to the UK Supreme Court. Kevin explains how hidden commission arrangements in car finance agreements have placed the industry under intense scrutiny, and why the Financial Conduct Authority’s redress scheme could see billions of pounds returned to consumers. With around 12.1 million motor finance agreements potentially affected, this is not just a legal story — it is a story about fairness, transparency, delay, and ordinary people challenging powerful financial institutions. Hatti and Kevin also discuss why consumers should be careful before accepting quick or limited offers, why getting proper legal guidance can make a real difference, and what you should do now if you had car finance. If you, your family, or your friends have ever taken out car finance, this is an episode you will want to hear, all in plain and simple English. And if this could help someone you know, send it their way! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
