Compensation is intended to cover the financial losses or hardship you experienced due to the mis-selling. There are typically two elements to calculating the total compensation you may receive:
Refund of Charges and Interest:
You may be entitled to a refund of any charges or fees associated with the loan that were not properly disclosed or were applied unfairly. Additionally, you could receive a refund of the interest you paid on these charges.
