Motorpoint, a nationwide car dealership, stocks and sells Hyundai vehicles. If you purchased a Hyundai through Motorpoint using a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP) agreement between 6 April 2007 and 1 November 2024, you should understand the potential issues surrounding your finance agreement.
Hyundai Finance at Motorpoint
When buying a Hyundai from Motorpoint, you might have opted for PCP or HP car finance. These agreements often involve a Discretionary Commission Arrangement (DCA), where dealers like Motorpoint receive additional payments from lenders based on the terms of the loan and other factors. This arrangement can sometimes lead to inflated interest rates and higher total costs for customers.
Motorpoint operates across the UK, making it convenient for consumers to purchase Hyundai vehicles with finance options tailored to their needs. However, it's important to remember that Motorpoint acts as a dealer, not a lender. Therefore, any complaints about your car finance agreement should be directed to the actual lender who provided the financing, rather than Motorpoint.
Finding Your Lender
To ensure you can address any issues with your Hyundai car finance agreement, check the document provided by Motorpoint that outlines the details of your loan. This will typically include the name and contact information of the lender responsible for your finance agreement. Common lenders associated with Motorpoint include banks and financial institutions like Toyota Finance UK Ltd., Hyundai Motor Finance UK Ltd., or other well-known providers.
If you believe there are issues with your car finance agreement, such as overcharging or hidden fees, you can [complain directly](https://mlj.org.uk/guides/how-to-complain-to-your-lender) to the lender who provided your financing. You do not need a claims management company to help you; handling complaints is a free service offered by lenders.
You can contact your lender through their customer service hotline or website and outline any concerns you have regarding your finance agreement. It's important to keep detailed records of all communications, including dates, names of representatives you speak with, and copies of letters or emails exchanged. This documentation will be crucial if you need to escalate the issue further.
