How your claim is calculated

The original overcharge is only part of your claim. The decisive lever is the compounding of statutory late payment interest, accrued over twelve to twenty-eight years.

C = (Vb × α) × (1 + r)t
  • C: total claimable compensation, principal and late payment interest combined
  • Vb: gross list price or net acquisition value of the vehicle
  • α: artificial overcharge applied by the cartel, between 10 and 20 %
  • r: average statutory annual interest rate applied by the court, 3 to 5 %
  • t: number of years elapsed since the original invoice was paid

Worked example: a truck bought new in 2004 at EUR 100,000 net generates a direct overcharge of EUR 15,000. With statutory interest compounded over twenty-two years at 4 % per year, the total claim reaches EUR 35,550 for that single vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

Original purchase invoices, hire purchase or long-term hire agreements, rental schedules, or failing that registration documents and extracts from your fixed-asset register covering 1997 to 2014.

No. The initial audit is free and commits you to nothing. If you decide to pursue a success-fee claim, our remuneration is solely a commission on the compensation recovered.

Yes. Resale or scrapping does not cancel the loss suffered at the original acquisition. See our file on trucks sold or scrapped.
