Why sign-up for VW Compensation?<\/h2>\n

Back in autumn of 2015, a colossal scandal broke out that shook the motor industry to its core.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen group and its subsidiaries were found to have been cheating car emissions testing<\/strong> through the use of so-called “defeat devices” – a fact of which VW are bizarrely accepting in some countries, and disputing in others. This shocking scandal has also prompted governments and authorities to initiate investigations in various countries across the world.<\/p>\n

The impact on owners has been huge.

Impact on owners<\/h3>\n

As well as potentially immense damage to the environment and health of the population, the scandal affects Volkswagen group vehicle owners directly by potentially depreciating the value of vehicles. Since the scandal broke, some owners have found their cars are worth a lot less than what they had expected.<\/p>\n

The depreciated value of the cars may also affect an owner when they try to sell it: who would want to buy a car that emits legally excessive pollutants, and may not be as good after the “fix” has been applied?<\/p>\n

Eligibility<\/h3>\n

If you purchased one of these cars prior to October 2015<\/strong>, you may be eligible to make a claim in our action with thousands of others:<\/p>\n
