Re: Diesel claims
To my knowledge there are at least six companies offering to claim on behalf of owners of certain vehicles. No idea how much a successful claim might result in as my car, a VW Golf and one of those makes possibly subject to these claims, does not qualify. That was ascertained by checking online the number on the dashboard (chassis number), visible through the bottom of the windscreen.
These companies are everywhere, advertising on TV, Google, Facebook etc. They intend making a group claim through the Courts. This I guess would take into account the lost value of the vehicle due to misrepresenting fuel consumption figures etc., then share out the proceeds if they win. How much this would cost the car owner I have never found out, perhaps it's done through one of these 'no win, no pay' insurance schemes to cover the legal costs. No doubt though they would make sure it's lucrative enough for them or they wouldn't be advertising as they are.
Possibly some might be scams, no idea about this and no way of checking as far as I can see.
