Black Horse Finance — What You Need to Know

Black Horse Finance is the motor finance arm of Lloyds Banking Group, one of the UK's largest financial institutions. For decades, Black Horse was among the most active car finance lenders in the country, funding millions of PCP and HP agreements through franchise and independent dealerships.

Between April 2007 and November 2021, Black Horse used discretionary commission arrangements (DCAs) — a system that allowed car dealers to set their own interest rates and earn higher commission the more they charged you. The FCA banned this practice in January 2021 after finding that consumers were paying an average of £1,100 extra over the life of a finance agreement.

The UK Supreme Court's landmark ruling in November 2024 confirmed that failing to disclose such commission arrangements to borrowers was unlawful. Lloyds Banking Group — Black Horse's parent — has since set aside £1.95 billion to cover expected redress payments, making it the single largest provision of any UK lender in this scandal.

Black Horse Finance PCP Claim — Frequently Asked Questions

Has Black Horse Finance admitted wrongdoing in the PCP mis-selling scandal? +
Black Horse Finance, part of Lloyds Banking Group, has set aside £1.95 billion in provisions to cover potential redress payments arising from the FCA's investigation into discretionary commission arrangements (DCAs). This provision signals serious exposure. The FCA's review and the Supreme Court ruling in November 2024 confirmed that undisclosed commission arrangements were unlawful — and Black Horse used these arrangements extensively.
How much could I claim against Black Horse Finance? +
The average estimated compensation for a PCP mis-selling claim is £700 per agreement, but individual amounts vary significantly. The FCA estimates consumers paid an average of £1,100 extra in interest due to DCAs. Your actual amount depends on your finance amount, interest rate, and the commission structure in your agreement. Use our free calculator for a personalised estimate.
What is Black Horse Finance and who owns it? +
Black Horse Finance is the motor finance subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group — one of the UK's largest high-street banks. It operates as a standalone brand offering PCP and HP finance through a network of car dealerships across the UK. Lloyds Banking Group also owns Halifax, Bank of Scotland, and MBNA, among others.
What is the deadline to make a Black Horse Finance PCP claim? +
The FCA is expected to open a formal consumer redress scheme in 2026. While no final cut-off date has been announced, early registration is strongly recommended — those who register now will be prioritised when the scheme opens. Agreements from April 2007 to November 2021 fall within the qualifying window.
Can I still claim if my Black Horse agreement has ended or the car has been returned? +
Yes. You can claim even if your agreement has ended, the car has been sold, returned, or written off, as long as the agreement falls within the qualifying period (April 2007 – November 2021). What matters is whether hidden commission was charged — not whether the agreement is still active.
