Bank Apologizes With £950, Drivers React Like They Won Lotto
In a shocking turn of events, UK motorists may finally see compensation for the car loan scandal starting in 2026, with 'most payouts likely to be under £950,' says the Financial Conduct Authority. The regulator announced a redress scheme that could cost banks up to £18bn, though experts confirm every penny will feel like a participation trophy. As millions of drivers await their payments, industry insiders warn families might have to 'consult their piggy banks and emotional support dogs.' One source grimly noted, 'It’s a small potato in a £18bn stew.'
