British boxer Tyson Fury has partnered with claims management company My Claims Group to raise awareness and help drivers claim compensation for mis-sold car finance.
This made the finance arrangement more expensive for the driver.

The practice was eventually banned after 2021, but a legal case has ensued to award affected drivers compensation.
A ruling is expected from the Supreme Court later this month, and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the industry watchdog, has already made plans for a redress scheme.
The Lloyds Banking group, which owns brands like Halifax and Black Horse, has already set aside money it expects to owe in compensation – and other lenders have followed suit.
My Claims Group believes those affected could be owed up to £4,000** in compensation for mis-sold car finance agreements.
So far, millions of drivers have signed up with the firm to help manage their case.

Emirates has reported a significant increase in first-class bookings to the UK from China (27 per cent) and India (17 per cent) in the first half of the year. It comes alongside a 10 per cent rise in business class bookings from Australia. The airline also anticipates a surge in Chinese visitors to regional UK airports like Glasgow and Newcastle, with projected increases of 18 per cent and 45 per cent respectively in the second half of 2025. Emirates says this growth in affluent international visitors is driving economic growth within the UK. The UK government aims to attract 50 million international visitors annually by 2030.

Car finance scandal: shares in UK lenders jump after supreme court ruling
Shares in UK lenders surged on Monday after a favourable supreme court ruling significantly slashed the anticipated bill for companies engulfed in the car finance scandal. Specialist lender Close Brothers, which is the most exposed to the scandal, jumped as much as 27% at the start of trading, while the UK's biggest motor loan provider, Lloyds Banking Group, rose by 5.5%. Shares in Barclays, which no longer provides car finance but is dealing with the fallout for the remaining loans on its books, rose by 1.1%. The motor finance industry – which ranges from big banks such as Lloyds and Santander UK to specialist lenders and the finance arms of carmakers such as Ford and BMW – dodged a collective £44bn compensation bill after the supreme court broadly sided with lenders in a ruling on Friday. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) subsequently announced plans for a much smaller redress scheme, which will go out for consultation by October. It is expected to cost lenders between £9bn and £18bn. The scheme will help draw a line under the car finance scandal, compensating millions of drivers who were overcharged as a result of controversial commission arrangements between lenders and car dealers as far back as 2007. Lloyds, which had previously set aside £1.2bn to cover compensation payments, did not announce any further provisions on Monday, and said that the 'ultimate impact' on the bank would depend on a 'number of factors'. That included the outcome of the consultation over the FCA compensation scheme, any 'further interventions' including by regulators, as well as 'broader implications of the judgment, including legal proceedings and complaints.' However, Lloyds, which is the largest provider of motor loans in the UK through its Black Horse division, said any additional money put aside for compensation 'is unlikely to be material in the context of the group'. 'The provision will continue to be reviewed for any further information that becomes available, with an update provided as and when necessary,' Lloyds added.
