About Course

Millions of people who bought a car on finance between 2007 and 2024 may be due compensation under a scheme set up by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Scammers are using this to trick people. This course explains where the scheme stands, how the scams work, and how to make a claim yourself for free.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider and is not connected to the FCA or any lender. This course is general awareness information, not legal or financial advice. The compensation scheme is subject to a legal challenge and details may change, so check the FCA website for the latest position.
