Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund

The Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund is a consumer protection program financed by Ontario's registered motor vehicle dealers.

The fund was established to compensate consumers who suffer a financial loss arising from a transaction with a registered dealer. Claims are submitted to the Fund's Board of Trustees and must be reviewed for eligibility.

Claims against the fund must meet certain requirements, and can be made within two years of a dealer's inability or refusal to reimburse the consumer.

Note: Any claims for vehicle transactions occuring prior to January 1 will be judged on criteria outlined in the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. Claims brought forward after January 1 are judged under the new MVDA.
