Completed finance but they registered 2 missed payments.

At the beginning of April I arranged collection of a car after the PCP agreement completed, due to COVID they were unable to collect until mid June, they have finally collected but I had to tax and insure the car to cover for 3 months. I recieved a request for payment for excess mileage on the same day thay I recieved an alert that they had tanked my credit rating by 200 points for missed payments they are not due.

They are CRIMINALS

I have lost all my hope!!!! This people are CRIMINALS, bought a FAULTY BMW from Henley Cars. 8 Days after the car broke. I took it to service to make a report of the faults they found OVER 30 FAULTS with the car. By LAW I am entitled to a complete refund.

My LAWYERS are in shock and state that what th... Reviewed on: 2nd June 2020

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AVOID THESE ABSOLUTE COWBOYS!!!! Purchased a car from a VW dealer with a fault. Sent the car into VW and they replaced a wheel bearing. Fault was still present on the car to be told it was a characteristic. 3 months later the financial ombudsman have agreed in my favour. Alphera have no clue on the UK law. They have also now stopped replying to the Financial Ombudsman!! absolutely awful company. Now left with no car to use and no response. AVOI... Reviewed on: 22nd May 2020

Great Underwriting Team

I Have been with Alphera for the Past 18 months they financed my Maserati originally, I approached them through a dealer one day ago to get another car and change my current one, The underwriting team sorted it really quickly as My married name was not showing up on my credit report. My score was low because of my change of name and all of my accounts wasn't reflecting on my credit reports. They understood and it was sorted, great, efficient, and professional and they treated me... Reviewed on: 21st May 2020

No help whatsoever during Covid-19 pandemic

After numerous calls and emails to try and arrange a payment holiday during the Coronavirus crisis I finally got through only to be told they don’t give payment holidays and that I’d have to give details and they will decide how much I can drop my payments by but surprisingly enough Alphera financial services in Republic of Ireland give their customers a payment holiday within 5 minutes online. So absolutely disgusting, shame on bmw. Reviewed on: 12th April 2020

Great customer service fro Nicola

I called today to see what help I could get from Alphera during the Covid-19 pandemic. Nicola was the name of the customer advisor that took my call. Nicola was so lovely and made feel at ease. She was understanding of the my situation and helped me out straight away. As a result I would definitely recommend Alphera in the future. Reviewed on: 8th April 2020

No help at all during covid19 NOT IN IT TOGETHER

I am self employed and will not get a penny for at least 2 months during this covid 19 crisis. I phoned asking for a pyment holiday or help, but was refused point blank. will not be using these guys again Reviewed on: 27th March 2020

Wont return my money after loan repaid

My finance which was always paid in full and on time was cleared when I purchased a new car. Despite Alphera receiving and cashing the cheque they failed to apply the funds to my account. They then took another months direct debit. Despite fully admitting they need to refund this money they are using all manner of excuses to avoid doing so, so I have now had to turn to the Financial Services Ombudsman for help. Total joke of a company that willingly lies to you over the phone.... Reviewed on: 12th October 2019
