Peugeot Finance Claim — 208, 308 [2026]

Last updated: 17 May 2026

Is Peugeot Finance Affected by the FCA Review?

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has confirmed that all Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and Hire Purchase (HP) agreements from 6 April 2007 to 1 November 2024 are covered under their review. This means that if you purchased a Peugeot vehicle through one of these financing methods during this period, your agreement could be covered by the FCA redress scheme.

Which Peugeot Models Are Affected?

The affected models include popular Peugeots such as the 208, 308, 2008, 3008, 5008, and Partner. Any of these vehicles that were financed via PCP or HP through authorised dealerships are included in the FCA's redress scheme.

How Much Compensation Could You Get for Your Peugeot?

The FCA-estimated scheme average is £829 per eligible agreement.. Some individuals may receive more than the average if their agreement was particularly affected by misleading practices.

How to Complain About Your Peugeot Finance

To initiate a complaint about your Peugeot finance arrangement, you first need to identify which lender funded your deal. This could be Stellantis Finance (the captive finance arm of the parent company) or third-party providers such as Black Horse and Santander.

Step 1: Check your paperwork for the name and contact details of the lender.
Step 2: Write to them formally outlining your concerns. Include any evidence that supports your case, such as emails or letters from sales staff.
Step 3: Allow eight weeks for a response before escalating your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

Peugeot Finance Lenders

The financing of Peugeot vehicles can be handled by various lenders. Common options include Stellantis Finance, Black Horse, Santander, and MotoNovo. Each lender has specific procedures for handling complaints, so it’s important to direct your complaint appropriately.

Two FCA Schemes and Deadlines

The FCA has established two separate schemes with distinct deadlines:

Post-2014 Scheme Deadline: June 2026 - This applies to agreements made after April 2014.
Pre-2014 Scheme Deadline: August 2026 - This covers agreements made between April 2007 and March 2014.

All complaints must be submitted by the final deadline of 31 August 2027 to ensure eligibility for compensation under the FCA's redress scheme.

Do You Need a Claims Company?

No, you do not need a claims management company to file your complaint. The process can be handled directly with the lender and the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) at no cost to you. This ensures that more of any compensation awarded goes directly back into your pocket.

By following these steps and understanding the relevant deadlines, consumers can deal with the FCA redress scheme effectively and potentially receive fair compensation for mis-sold Peugeot car finance agreements.

FCA Compensation: FCA Scheme Figures

The FCA confirmed on 30 March 2026 that 12.1 million motor finance agreements are covered by the FCA redress scheme. The FCA-estimated scheme average of £829 per eligible agreement per agreement, with a total of £7.5 billion set aside for consumers. The scheme covers PCP and HP agreements entered into between 6 April 2007 and 1 November 2024.

Two separate schemes apply: post-2014 agreements (implement by 30 June 2026) and pre-2014 agreements (implement by 31 August 2026). The final deadline to complain is 31 August 2027. You can complain to your lender directly for free. You do not need a claims management company.
