Charging £25 administration fee to amend the registration number on the agreement is nothing short of a rip off. Reviewed on: 8th November 2022

Missed payments

Sorry reading reviews about pandemic an them not giving a break in payments sorry but dont use car dont use what u cant afford. Iv had good experience with close brothers at end of day if someone owed u money would u excuse payments cos of pandemic no u wouldn't. Iv missed payments myself through financial difficulties not saying it dont happen but iv paid the 30 pound an believe me am not rich so 30 pound alot but rather pay 30 then drive without insurance. Or dont drive at all. U have credit agreement to read before u sign did rent/mortgage/gas/leccy/food stop cos of pandemic no so dont take a bill on Reviewed on: 7th November 2022

Scams to deny my right to cancel within 14 days - Avoid - Avoid

Having tried to finance my car Insurance, Close Brothers gave me a scheduled payment dates but having read the small print they tried to stick over £200 extra charges. They deny my right by law to cancel within 14 days by using Loop-Holes and Technicalities. I would rather than using Close Brothers. Avoid --Avoid unless you like to get ripped off. Reviewed on: 14th October 2022

Good customer service

Had an issue purchasing online. Rang the company and was assisted by a pleasant representative who solved my issue. Reviewed on: 10th October 2022

Bad experience

So i had my car finance with them i called them so many times to fix my online loghin not a chance they dont know what they doing i have to tell them anyway, the last bombshell was that i have to apply for a new log book online and i have to pay Reviewed on: 30th September 2022

Great company

Very good and competitive service good value for money Reviewed on: 15th September 2022

Great rates

Offers one of the lowest aprs, customer service is good but their website needs to be clearer. If your payment is due on a Sunday/bank holiday and it goes past that date, it says “late payment” and gives you the option to pay now with a late fee. However the payment isn’t actually late and will just be taken next working day, yet they will still take your money and your late fee. They did repay me but it took a while Reviewed on: 18th June 2022
