Strange post maybe but has anyone made a claim for owning a diesel car between 2009-2020?

If so, how easy was it? Is it worth doing?

I've heard a few things in the media lately about it and wondering if I should try it.

To me, it is just greed. From the claimant and the claims company, It didn't affect the use of the car and to be honest, when we buy a car all I am concerned with and comfort and reliability! I don't think anyone really puts much store buy performance and economy figures from the manufacturer.

Well to be honest, if there's a chance to get something back then why not go for it. Everyone is being shafted for so many other things lately!!!

A multi million pound manufacturer like VW will hardly miss it.

This.

I do wonder why so many people act surprised at the behaviour of politicians when it's obvious that the majority of people behave exactly the same.

Go for it, but you won't see much of the money they claim. Maybe a 10p in the pound of any successful claim.

The claimant company will tell you the that it cost them x amount.

Also what do mean by everybody is being shafted..?

Fuel, electricity, gas, food, tax etc...coupled with pay rises below the rate of inflation for the public sector.

I don't really think you can compare bent politicians with hard working people who might legally look to claim a relatively small pay out.

So because you believe you are being shafted by someone, you go and shaft someone NOT involved in what is happening now? Classy!

I think you can. Anyone who claims just because they can even though there has been no cost to them from that manufacturer, is as bad as anyone who defrauds!

Not to sure VW are to blame for all of that

But if it makes you feel better and you get to retire early on the proceeds, fair play.

Just VW £193,000,000 for 91,000 uk claims settled in “initial” claim batch in May 2022.

£2.120 each

32 million odd cars on uk roads , say half of them deisel.

Long way to go yet with this.

Much like many PPI claims.

I know people who claimed on their PPI due to sickness and redundancy and still had the nerve to put a claim in saying they'd been 'mis-sold'. Absoulte bullshit.

And they got paid out because it was too much nother for the banks to fight their cases.

Politicians caused this by pushing us towards diesel as being the best for mpg & the environment, only to realise their mistake. Having spent billions to comply, car makers then found the screw being turned on the by yet more politicians. These are the same politicians telling us to go electric now & dig up half of Africa searching for lithium & creating huge compounds of dead expired electric cars that can't be scrapped cos nobody can safely break them up. It's not the car manufacturers at fault here, it's our demands for personal instant travel & vote hunters taking the easy options at election time, knowing they'll be out of government by the time the mistakes are known & their successors are left to give us the bad news. Just 8 years left until the big lack of charging scandal sees an extension being given to new fossil fuel cars!

Don't pull the public sector card. If they give up their gold plated pensions and join the real world we can talk.

Also, it's basic economics. If they get the payrise they want it will feed inflation and cause stagflation.

If demand in products is supressed it will reduce demand/costs and in turn inflation.

We are all getting squeezed. But it's not the first time and won't be the last. The only difference this time is social media nonsense.

Where there's a blame there's a claim I guess
