Tax back on Oodle Car Finance car finance compensation

Lender guide · Specialist Oodle Car Finance
Quick answer

If Oodle Car Finance paid you compensation with interest, it will normally have taken income tax off the interest (22% on payments from April 2027). Basic-rate and non-taxpayers can usually get that tax back from HMRC, and we handle the claim for you.

About Oodle Car Finance

Oodle Car Finance is a UK lender focused on used cars, run by Oodle Financial Services Limited in Salford. It also built an online platform combining used car search with finance, helping customers find cars within budget at partner dealers. Its lending includes hire purchase, and most people come across it online or through a used car dealer that offers its finance.

Oodle finance taken out between 2007 and 2024 could be covered by the FCA’s compensation scheme, though being a customer doesn’t in itself mean you are owed anything.

What Oodle took off your payout

Compensation is usually made up of three parts. Only one of them is what we reclaim.

1 · RedressThe commission or interest you overpaid. This part isn’t taxed.
2 · InterestAdded for the time you were without the money. This is taxed.
3 · Tax deductedUsually 22% of the interest on payments from April 2027. This is what we get back for you.

Can I claim?

  1. Oodle Car Finance paid you compensation, under the FCA scheme, after a complaint or through the Financial Ombudsman.
  2. The compensation included interest, with tax deducted.
  3. You were a basic-rate or non-taxpayer in the tax year you were paid.
