⚠️🚗Dodgy Missold Car Finance Text🚗⚠️

Which has shared details of a text claiming you've been mis-sold car finance

How it works?
A scam text sent from a claims management firm tells you that you could be owed up to £2,487 in mis-sold car finance and provides a link to see how much you're owed.

It also includes a number to text to stop receiving messages.

On Who Called Me, reports of this number claim receiving the text despite not being owed any money.

Drivers who were mis-sold car finance are now due compensation and rogue claims firms are cropping up.

You can search the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) register to see if a company can legally provide financial services in the UK.

Scam and spam texts can be reported by forwarding them to 7726.
