Latest Investigations & Cases

Vauxhall Emissions Scandal - Group Action

More than a million Vauxhall drivers in the UK could be due compensation according to a new legal action launched by Milberg London LLP which claims the car company installed software (or a ‘defeat device’) on 600,000 vehicles to cheat emissions tests. Vauxhall drivers who purchased or leased their cars between 2009 and 2019 could be due thousands of pounds each in compensation if they join the group claim and it is successful.

The Vauxhall Pay Up campaign says Vauxhall drivers were mis-sold cars that cheated regulatory emissions tests, were more polluting than promised, and were worth less than the purchase price. Defeat devices are banned under UK and EU law. We believe Vauxhall knew the only way they could get their cars on the road was by rigging the tests.

VW Group Emissions Scandal

In 2015, Volkswagen (VW) admitted to deceiving millions of people who purchased their cars by installing ‘defeat devices’ into 11 million of their vehicles worldwide. This software was designed to cheat pollution tests. This meant that, when driving their vehicles, VW owners were unknowingly emitting up to 40 times the legal limit of nitrogen oxide pollutants into the air. This scandal has come to be known as ‘dieselgate’. There is a group litigation currently going through the Courts and it remains open to VW customers to join a secondary group. See our Emissions Cheating page for more details.

Hargreaves Lansdown Scandal

Financial services provider Hargreaves Lansdown actively promoted the Woodford Equity Fund ahead of its closure in June 2019 and subsequent FCA investigation. Allegations are being made that suggest HL’s senior management knew of certain difficulties faced by the fund but continued to promote it to investors rather than highlight the risks. Investors are facing losses of at least 50% of their holdings.

We are investigating the experiences of investors affected by this issue to see if HL’s conduct may give rise to a claim. Look out for further information coming soon.

Facebook You Owe Us

Facebook owes us honesty, responsibility and redress. We believe that Facebook allowed third-party apps to harvest the personal data of the app user’s friends, without their friends’ permission or even knowledge. We believe that any personal data Facebook allowed to be passed to these apps was obtained unlawfully and without the required permissions. Your friends’ consent is not your consent. According to the Information Commissioner’s Office, this breach affected nearly one million people across England and Wales. We are taking Facebook to court for failing to protect the data of those affected. Find out if you were affected https://fb-youoweus.co.uk/.

VW/Audi Cam chain

A number of VW and Audi models made between 2008 and 2013 were fitted with a metal cam chain system that may have been defective. Expert analysis suggests that the cam chains can fail during ordinary use and lead to bent intake valves or even catastrophic engine failure. The costs of repairing such damage can be up to several thousand pounds or require replacement of the vehicle. We have launched an investigation into this issue and are looking for VW and Audi owners who may have been affected.
