Evidence and complaint strength

Why hidden commission can matter

The rate may not have been fully transparent

Some arrangements allowed commission to be linked to the finance rate or product sold, which may raise questions about fairness and disclosure.

The recommendation may have been influenced

A dealer or broker may have had a financial incentive to recommend one agreement, lender or rate over another.

Disclosure evidence is important

The key question is often what you were told before signing, what was hidden in the paperwork, and whether the cost was presented clearly.
