“Splendid customer service!”

★★★★★

written by Blajay on 22/01/2013

I was really pleased about the communication - on the phone and email. The speed was a pleasant surprise really, one I appreciate. Steve Coulthard has done well; he made the process look very simple and stress free. His honesty was good, my car arrived just as he predicted. Overall, I received assistance from someone who cared about (and understood) my car needs. Thanks Steve.

“customer satisfaction”

★★★★☆

written by rach30foxy on 21/01/2013

Was very quick at finalising agreement.really wanted to kp my vehicle that I had taken out 3yrs prior and didnt think it would be possible, until I went online and found carfinance247.daniel wright was very quick in dealing with the application side of things.he knew I had a deadline and pretty much sorted it within the boundaries I had.the only thing I would say is that trying to reach the individual person dealing with the application during the checking procedure was very difficult.awaiting a reply was either a long wait away and other times no reply was received.so from a customer service side being in mgmt retail myself, this could be improved.overall very quick.

“DISAPPOINTED!”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 20/01/2013

I contacted car finance 247 as was looking to change my vehicle. From the application being completed it took about 5 mins for me to get a text to say all sorted and accepted and to call Steven Coulthard for more info. I called and was told a finance was in place and I could seek a vehicle up to 5k. I started looking around and found a car through a independent dealer and they told me it may be in my best interest to get a finance deal through them to keep everything "in house". I went ahead and got finance via Lloyds Black Horse. I have a very good credit rating so knew all would be fine - and it was. I am picking the car up tomorrow - however in the meantime I got a call from a company called ACF (approved car finance) saying my finance application with CF247 had been DECLINED! (so I was told it was accepted and to look for a car) but they could help. Working in finance I know this company really prey on the vulnerable and charge a typical 44.9% APR on their loans. It doesn't matter now as I got a deal elsewhere over theirs but felt let down by this company's lack of communication and passing out of my details! AVOID!!!

“Fantastic, Prompt Service”

★★★★★

written by MIA786 on 18/01/2013

I was reluctant at first and sceptical but after my initial chat with Henry Stimpson my fears and concerns were put to rest. From beginning to end the service I received was nothing short of superb. I would highly recommend carfinance247 to any person wishing to obtain car finance. If you get Henry as your case handler then your in excellent hands as he's a credit to the company.

Super fast and efficient Mr Coulthard sorted me right out. It's a shame a car purchase doesn't happen more frequently as would definitely deal with him again :) All sorted within 24hrs, easy instructions on what to do given. Can't wait to have my new car now!

“1st Class service”

★★★★★

written by DaveGilberts on 12/01/2013

James Murgatroyd at car finance 24/7 has done an excellent job. I've had several problems with other car loan companies as my credit is far from good. James understood my situation and found the right lender for me while the other companies did not. While all along he was there to answer any questions. Overall a great chap who has made something happen that others didn't, so yes i would highly recommend James and his company.

i was please from the beginning of the online process and the follow up calls from Nicola miller. She was helpful and her process in talking though the loan process to a fincinal advisor and liasion with the dealers. Nicola was able to correspond with the dealer in booking an appointment for me to go to and see the dealers. On two occasions i left a message for nicola to return my call and this prompt and efficient.

It depends how quick you are really. I was able to take care of everything in two days. And then took me roughly a week to be able to get the car after choosing it.

It says in their advert that "no credit footprint will be left". Yet going through the application and getting to the T&C's it reads; " a credit search will be made with multiple agencies, this will be seen on your credit file". How then can that then leave, (as the advert reads) "no credit footprint"?

Report this content DCD78 Written on: 28/06/2016
The interest rate is based on your credit score, car finance don't actually decide how much interest you're going to pay its the finance company that's willing to take on your application. I got a car from them in December it was hassle free and wasn't charged a fee like other companies want. I also have friends with average/poor credit who I referred to them who have gone on to purchase cars from them. Ultimately the decision is yours if you want to take out the finance.

I am on a Trust deed, well over half way through the period. I continue to pay my car loan regularly but my car is now high mileage and looking like it will cost me money soon. I am looking to get finance but although my current finance house are happy with my regular payments, their underwriter cannot approve a new loan since I am obviously on the AIB register (trust deed).  What are the chances of CarFinance247 supporting my application for a car loan?

Moneybarn are the best company for this, I reckon. You'll need to get the approval of your trustee before they will consider you but they have approved people with trust deeds in the past.

If you are in full time work & earning over £1000 pm then I would say your chances are good. I started making payments on my new car last October but obviously the APR is slightly more increased then normal due to my poor credit score.

I can only speak from experience. I would not trust carfinance247 as far as I could throw them. ABSOLUTE SHOWER !!! They say you have the finance, then you don't, then you do, then you don't etc etc, you get the picture. UKCREDIT I have found to be brilliant. It's not a guarantee that you will be accepted but at least you get treated as a normal person, by a normal person and they go to great lengths to help you as much as possible. This is only my experience but over time I have dealt with a few and I cannot fault UKCREDIT.

My hubby has already spoke to someone and they requested a fee but it sounds a bit dodgy and we don't want to waste that amount of money to a company that we don't know of.

Kept telling me I was approved with no problems. Took me a week to find a suitable vehicle. Rang them and again I was assured all was well, so I placed a deposit on the vehicle. Then when it came to the crunch, NO finance. Said it had been re-evaluated and declined. All within an hour of saying "no problem". Then all of a sudden, they are not keen to talk to you. Trust them at your peril !!!
