Terms of Service
Last updated: 10 June 2026
These Terms of Service govern your use of the PCP365 website and the claims management services provided by Claim 3000 Ltd (Company No. 09371796, FCA 833604), trading as PCP365. Please read these terms carefully before using our services. By submitting an enquiry or signing a Letter of Authority, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. About Us
PCP365 is the trading name of Claim 3000 Ltd, a Claims Management Company (CMC) authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under reference number 833604. Registered in England and Wales (Company No. 09371796). Registered address: Unit 31, Cariocca Business Park, Hellidon Close, Ardwick, Manchester, M12 4AH. VAT No: 230852232.
The digital infrastructure and marketing platform for this website is provided by Top Offer Italia Ltd, acting as a technology service provider to Claim 3000 Ltd.
2. Our Services
We provide claims management services to individuals who may have been mis-sold a PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) or HP (Hire Purchase) car finance agreement due to undisclosed or discretionary commission arrangements between the lender and the broker or dealer.
Our services include: identifying your finance agreements, assessing your eligibility, preparing and submitting a complaint to the relevant lender, and, where appropriate, escalating to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) or FCA redress scheme on your behalf.
You do not have to use a CMC. You can complain directly to your lender and then to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) for free. Our service is fee-bearing — see Section 6 for details.
3. Eligibility
To use our services you must:
- Be aged 18 or over and resident in the United Kingdom.
- Have held a PCP or HP car finance agreement with a UK-regulated lender.
- Not already have an active claim or legal proceedings in relation to the same agreement.
- Have the authority to act on behalf of any joint agreement holders (where applicable).
A soft credit search (not visible to lenders) may be used to locate your finance agreements. This will not affect your credit score.
4. Letter of Authority and Your Instructions
By signing and submitting our Letter of Authority (LoA), you appoint Claim 3000 Ltd as your authorised representative to act on your behalf in relation to your car finance claim. Your electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
You must provide accurate and complete information. Providing false or misleading information may result in termination of your claim and potential liability for costs incurred.
You may withdraw your LoA at any time — see Section 8 (Cancellation) for the financial implications of doing so after the cooling-off period.
5. Your Obligations
You agree to:
- Co-operate with us promptly and provide all information we reasonably request.
- Notify us of any changes to your contact details or personal circumstances relevant to your claim.
- Not independently approach the lender, FOS, or any third party about the same claim without notifying us first.
- Inform us immediately if you receive any correspondence from your lender or the FOS about your claim.
- Not accept any settlement offer from a lender without first consulting us.
6. Fees
6.1 Our Fee
We receive a fee for introducing you to a solicitor. This does not affect any compensation you may receive.
6.2 Termination Fee
If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period and we have already carried out work on your claim, a termination fee may apply at a rate of £80 + VAT per hour for work completed to that point. We will provide you with a written breakdown of work undertaken.
6.3 No Hidden Charges
There are no upfront fees. The initial eligibility check is free. Any fees will be clearly communicated before you sign the Letter of Authority.
7. The Initial Check
The free initial check involves a soft credit search to identify PCP and HP finance agreements registered against your name and address history. This check is not visible to lenders and does not affect your credit score or credit file.
8. Cancellation and Cooling-Off Period
You have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you sign your Letter of Authority. During this period you may cancel without charge by contacting us at contact@claim3000.co.uk.
After the 14-day period, you may still cancel at any time, but if we have performed work on your claim a termination fee (see Section 6.2) may apply. We will not commence substantive work during the 14-day period without your express consent.
9. Complaints
We take complaints seriously. If you are unhappy with our service, please contact us in the first instance:

- Phone: 0161 541 2053

We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 business days and issue a final response within 8 weeks. If you remain dissatisfied, you may refer your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman (LeO) at legalombudsman.org.uk or the Financial Ombudsman Service.
10. Limitation of Liability
We will use reasonable skill and care in providing our services. However, we cannot guarantee the outcome of any claim. Our liability to you is limited to the fees paid to us under these terms. We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or special loss arising from our services.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
