We believe Dieselgate is an industry-wide scandal, a number of car manufacturers cheated the emissions tests and failed their customers. They knew what the emissions rules were, and they developed software to get around them. It is time to hold them to account.

It costs absolutely nothing to take part in the Emissions Pay Up campaign
If eligible, our law firm will take on your case and it will be managed by an exceptional team of top litigators in London
If successful, each driver could be owed thousands in compensation

This is how we do it

1. Check your car in a matter of moments

The first step is to complete our eligibility checker to see if your vehicle has been affected by the emissions scandal. This process has been designed in consultation with our law firm and enables our specialist lawyers to give you a preliminary analysis of your claim. This is entirely free of charge and carried out on a no obligation basis. Check my car.

2. Lawyer up

If you have an eligible claim, you can choose to be put in touch with our law firm. You will also be given the chance to provide us with more information and documents to help strengthen your case. If you choose to proceed, our law firm will provide you with their terms of business and formally on-board you as a client.

3. Running your case

Our law firm intends to bring your emissions claim with thousands of other motorists via a Group Litigation Order (or ‘GLO’). A GLO is a procedural mechanism that allows lots of claims with “common or related issues” of fact and/or law to be managed together as one case. Unfortunately, it can take years to bring large scale group actions to conclusion in the UK, perhaps 3 to 5 years in total. Our law firm does believe we will get there in the end and be successful and they will work tirelessly behind the scenes to make that happen.

4. No win, no fee and minimal risk

Our law firm will prepare, argue, negotiate and conclude your case. They will do all of this on a no win, no fee basis. The lawyers only get paid if there is a win at the end of the case. If the claim is successful, the lawyers are paid from the compensation recovered from the car manufacturer. If the case is unsuccessful, you pay nothing. In our view, there is not much to lose by being involved.

So far this company's dealings with me have been entirely professional and honest. I understand these things take a long time and much information is needed, which I've provided as promptly as possible. No negative experience at all, don't understand where other negative reviews are coming from?

Our preliminary Analysis - You're Nearly There

Great news! It looks like you may be entitled to compensation.

We just need a bit more info from you to take on your claim. Don't forget to read the additional information below before hitting continue.

Continue

Our preliminary analysis

Based on the information you have provided so far; our law firm believes you have been affected by the emissions scandal and have a claim for compensation.

If you provide us with more information, we can use that to enhance our analysis and give you a better idea as to what your claim might be worth. At that point, we can refer you to our law firm and you can decide whether to join up to the group litigation.

If you don’t have the information to hand, you can enter your details by clicking below and we can follow up with you another time.

It’s worth getting involved

Once you provide us with some more information, we can give you a better indication of the compensation you may be due. The level of compensation will depend on a range of factors including how much you paid for your car and how much harm the Court determines the car manufacturer has caused you. Under consumer protection law, motorists could recover between 25% and 100% of the price of their vehicle, depending on the severity of the unlawful conduct and the difference between the market price of the product at the time of sale, and the price paid. This could be many thousands of pounds.

You may be aware that purchasers of affected cars have already been awarded compensation in other countries. Below are some examples of pay outs in similar cases in other countries. Remember, however, that the English Courts are not bound by these decisions and will have to make their own calculation of loss for vehicle owners.

  • In the US, claimants received between US$5,000 and US$10,000 from VW and between US$822.50 and US$3,290 from Mercedes.
  • In Spain, VW claimants were awarded €3,000 each.
  • In Germany, there has been a large range of awards against several car manufacturers from €1,000 to tens of thousands of Euros for each claimant (against Daimler/Mercedes, awards of over €40,000 have been given).
  • In the Netherlands, a court declared that first-hand VW owners were entitled to €3,000 and second-hand VW owners were entitled to €1,500.

Your chances of success

In your case, our law firm is currently assuming that your prospects of success are high. In other words, our law firm believes it is more likely than not that they will be able to win meaningful compensation for you.

Thank you

Our law firm believes you have been affected by the emissions scandal and are entitled to compensation from the car manufacturer.

What happens next?

You will receive a communication from our law firm regarding the basis on which they are offering legal representation in relation to your claim. Please look out for these emails and respond as soon as you can.

If you decide to proceed, our law firm will need you to formally sign up to their terms of business and go through a quick know-your-client ID check to on-board you and include you in the group action. This is all done through an online platform and takes a matter of moments.

How long will it take?

Unfortunately, it can take years to bring large scale group actions to conclusion in the UK. Your case will involve complex issues of fact and law and will need to be case managed with tens of thousands of other claims. If you decide to proceed with our law firm, at this stage they estimate it taking 3 to 5 years for the case to be prepared, argued and decided before the English Courts.

That is because they have to work through the English Court system and the many procedural steps required by the rules. It is also possible that the defendant car manufacturer may enter into an out of court settlement with claimants before the court case concludes.

Our law firm does believe we will get there in the end and be successful and they are working tirelessly behind the scenes to make that happen.

Thank you for visiting the site. If you received the vehicle by way of a gift, you are unlikely to have suffered a financial loss and are therefore unlikely to be entitled to compensation. In those circumstances, we are unable to progress your claim.
