Good Points: Helpd me find a car, made sure the car was in good condition with a warentee, MOT and Tax for 12 Months, Good rates for the finance, and will try to help anybody with finding them the perfect car.

Bad Points: I beleive that people with adverse credit will find they will pay high interest rates, you have to find the right advisor at car loan 4 u. You need to get involved in the process of finding the car.

General comments: Very good service, I approached 'Car Loan 4 U' with a very specific car for them to source, with very specific finance requirements. They very quickly established a credit limit for me, and work with me to find the perfect car. Together wee found a car, they sent the paperwork, I retuned it and the next day they contacted the dealer to transfer the funds. By the end of that week the car was delivered to me and the service was excellent.

Would advise anyone to steer clear as made what should have been a very simple transaction a nightmare.Applied on line was accepted and advised to go searching for a car. Found a car telephoned them and agreement was faxed to the dealership signed and returned. I called after a few days and was informed that the money was being transfeered to the dealer as we spoke on 26 March.When the dealer had not recieved this by 30 March I again called to be told the money was on its way.It was only after A ...

Applied over the Car Loan 4 U website for a loan of £3000 maximum and advised I should receive a decision in approx 1-12 hours. I received a text after an hour to say I had been pre-approved by two companies and they would be in touch shortly. I had already been approved by Welcome Finance but didn't want a nearly new car so 24hours later I had to call them to chase up a decision and received another text an hour or so later advising they had approved me for £8000 as long as I coul ...

At Car Loan 4 U I was happy with the limit offered and the APR what with my credit history and I would have been happy to go through with it had I been able to go to a dealer of my choice (had the dealer and car picked out). The person I dealt with was courteous and friendly. Fast decision, nice staff. Website says you pick the dealer you want, that is only if you're wanting a car over £8000 and have 20% deposit. I was offered a limit of £9600 at 16% APR which isn't bad given my ...

I received an excellent service from these guys. I have a very poor credit history and drove a new car within 10 days of applying to Car Loans 4 u. Have to say that they called when they said they would and all the staff that I dealt with were very friendly but I mainly spoke with one person who was excellent. Would recommend to a friend or family member.

Having looked around at the various other companies that offer this service, Welcome etc, this in my opinion is the best one to go with. Yes there are certain conditions but you're told these straight off. welcome told us they had a car for us but couldn't tell us what reg or colour unless we went to the showroom! This whole process from start to finish took about 10 days and the longest part was finding the car. We returned paperwork and they paid out the same day they received it. Very highly ...

Doesn't do what it says on the tin. A 1-12 hour response promise took 2 days and referred me to only one possible dealer 200 miles away whose interest rate resembled a phone number. Very misleading.

We went with them, the staff are friendly and we didn't have any other options to us due to our very poor credit history but we had to get a car. It will cost us £12k for a £8400k car but we knew that would be the case with our history.

Car Loan 4U were at one point constantly ringing me at inconvenient times. Loads of emails and texts too, plus messages on my home phone. Although a lot of information was given to me, some important bits were missed. Good if you can't get credit elsewhere, but I wish I'd shopped around for a better rate as in total I'll be repaying twice the value I borrowed.

I chose not to go with these as i was going to be paying back over £11000 for a car that was priced at £5900, i chose to go with welcome car finance and got a much better deal, instead of paying back nearly double the loan i am only having to pay back £1500 on top

These peope are the best, even with poor credit I was able to secure a car at a reasonable rate of interest, most other places gave me a £3000 less limit and an APR of 49% (not good). These people have restored my faith in decent people offering finance - would recommend.

Thought this might be another of those "send us some money and we might be able to get you a loan" companies, but how wrong I was. Within no time at all after giving some details over the phone I was offered credit by two different companies with limits I was very surprised by!! I went and found a car within the limits, phoned with details, and 3 days later I am now driving it!! Very fast and helpful service, and many thanks to customer service agents they are a credit to carloans4u.

From when I applied online with Car Loans 4 U, my application was dealt with quickly and efficiently, by helpful friendly staff. They made the process ever so easy, and I would definitely recommend them. I would use them again without a doubt.
