Hyundai Capital UK Car Finance Claim — Check If You're Owed Compensation

Hyundai Capital UK — What You Need to Know

Hyundai Capital UK Ltd is the captive finance subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group in the United Kingdom. It provides PCP and HP finance for both Hyundai and Kia vehicles — the two brands within the same South Korean automotive conglomerate — through authorised dealerships across the country. This means a single legal entity, Hyundai Capital UK, is responsible for dealer-arranged finance agreements across both brands.

During the period covered by the FCA investigation (April 2007 to November 2021), Hyundai Capital UK operated discretionary commission arrangements that allowed dealership finance managers to set customer interest rates within an approved range. The higher the rate set, the more commission the dealer earned — and customers were not told about this arrangement. The Supreme Court's ruling in November 2024 confirmed this practice was unlawful.

Both Hyundai and Kia have grown substantially in market share over the qualifying period. The increasing popularity of models such as the Hyundai Tucson, i10, i20, and i30, and the Kia Sportage, Ceed, and Picanto means a large number of UK consumers may have agreements with Hyundai Capital UK that qualify for review. Customers with multiple agreements — for example, a Hyundai followed by a Kia — can submit claims for both.

Do You Qualify for a Hyundai Capital UK Claim?

You are likely eligible if:

  • Your car finance was arranged through an authorised Hyundai or Kia dealership
  • The agreement was taken out between April 2007 and November 2021
  • It was a PCP or HP agreement (not a 0% promotional deal)
  • You were not clearly informed about any commission the dealer received
  • You are a UK resident aged 18 or over

You may not qualify if:

  • The agreement was taken out after November 2021
  • It was a 0% promotional rate finance deal

Hyundai Capital UK Claim — FAQs

Is Hyundai Capital the same as Kia Finance UK?+
Yes. In the UK, both Hyundai and Kia motor finance is provided by the same legal entity: Hyundai Capital UK Ltd. Hyundai and Kia are sister brands within Hyundai Motor Group. There is no separate "Kia Finance UK" company — your Kia PCP agreement will have been funded through Hyundai Capital UK.
What Hyundai and Kia models are covered?+
All Hyundai and Kia models financed through authorised dealerships in the qualifying period are included. This covers the full Hyundai range (i10, i20, i30, Tucson, Santa Fe, IONIQ and others) and the full Kia range (Picanto, Rio, Ceed, Sportage, Stonic, Sorento, EV6 and others). The make and model of vehicle does not affect eligibility — what matters is the finance agreement type and period.
I no longer have my Hyundai Capital agreement. Can I still claim?+
Yes. You do not need the original paperwork. We submit a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) to Hyundai Capital UK on your behalf, which legally requires them to produce your complete finance history. All we need from you is your personal details and an approximate date of the agreement.
What if Hyundai Capital disputes my claim?+
If Hyundai Capital UK rejects or ignores your complaint, we escalate the claim to the Financial Ombudsman Service. The FOS is an independent body with power to award compensation and is free to use. Our legal partner handles the escalation as part of the No Win No Fee service — there is no additional cost to you.
When will I receive compensation from Hyundai Capital UK?+
The FCA has asked lenders to pause complaints handling pending the finalisation of its redress scheme, expected in the first half of 2026. Once the scheme is confirmed, lenders will have a defined window to pay valid claims. Registering now means your claim is documented and queued ahead of the scheme opening.
