I’ve had a very disappointing experience with Alphera Finance and feel compelled to warn others. Due to a change in employment and reduced household income, I recently found myself in financial difficulty and contacted StepChange for support. As part of taking responsibility for my situation, I reviewed my outgoings and decided my PCP vehicle agreement with Alphera was no longer affordable. Trying to handle things properly, I requested a settlement figure (£18,553) and obtained independent valuations of the vehicle (around £13,200), expecting a shortfall of roughly £5,300 which I was prepared to address through my Debt Management Plan. However, when discussing voluntary termination, Alphera advised that I would need to pay over £10,800 — almost double what I reasonably expected. This is because they include 50% of the optional final balloon payment in the calculation, even though the car is being returned and I will never own it. While I understand how they arrive at this figure, ... Read more Read more Read less

Setting up a PCP car finance plan with Alphera (through the Broker Zuto was easy. The latter does most of the work including negotiating with the car dealer.) This part of the experience is very good. However, if something goes wrong with the car you really are on your own. My engine suffered a catastrophic failure with a repair bill of £7000 after just over a year. Alphera finance company told me, a) I can pay off the car and keep it b) early surrender but I pay a huge fee and also pay the difference between the book value and what they get at an auction (with a dead engine it would not be much) c) And I must continue to pay the monthly amount regardless. Alphera technically own the car until the last balloon payment is paid, I was just seeking some help with the repair cost. Even though the actual fault is a known weakness in this type of engine (so was present at the time of purchase) I have been informed that all liability is with me and they are not prepared to entertain any financial assistance. So, I do not own the car, the engine repair bill is mine to bear and Alphera could not care less. They are not prepared to do anything to assist. Thanks! Judging by many of the other reviews on here, I'm not alone in my condemnation of this company. Read more Read less
