# Martin Lewis outlines 3 ways to potentially qualify for £829 car finance compensation
### Drivers may be entitled to compensation for mis-sold car finance agreements, according to Martin Lewis.
Finance expert Martin Lewis has detailed how certain drivers might be eligible for a compensation payment of up to £829 related to car finance agreements. This compensation is aimed at those affected by mis-selling practices in the finance industry.
To qualify for the compensation, individuals must meet specific criteria laid out by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Lewis identified three categories of mis-selling. "There are three categories of car finance mis-selling included in the FCA's scheme. All of them rely on non-disclosure – in other words, you weren't told this was going on," the finance expert explained. This means many drivers could be unaware of whether they were mis-sold unless they go through the necessary checks.
The time frame for complaints has been a significant focus for the FCA. Lewis pointed out that people who may have already submitted complaints concerning their car finance agreements should review the details. "This has been our focus for two years, so if you've already complained, it's likely what you complained about," noted the Money Saving Expert website.
For any drivers uncertain about their eligibility, investigating their car finance history is essential. Those who suspect they were mis-sold finance could stand to gain significantly through this compensation scheme.
