Callous and scammers

Took car finance out years ago they ripped me off threw mis sold ppi. I explained to them about my disability and why I didn't claim soon enough. I had a strong case, they refused my circumstances and I had to go to financial ombudsman, the ombudsman asked them to consider but they refused. The staff are callous and nasty. J.g.

Worst Car Finance Company Experience Ever

1
Our complaint with this company is now into it's 9th month. The vehicle financed came with what we believe to be fraudulent documentation and was mis-described. The FSA Ombudsman has upheld part of our complaint but we must proceed with court action for the rest. You can read my complaint and see the documents (when uploaded) via a link on Close Brothers own Facebook page or go to:- Close Brothers Motor Finance?...

Simple application process

Quick decision to drive away with payments to suit my lifestyle Reviewed on: 8th April 2019

Not interested in Customer complaints

1
This company financed my car which should have come with FSH however the documents which were provided weeks later were full of discrepancies, obvious errors and appear fraudulent. Our complaint to Close Brothers fell on deaf ears as they accepted the service records as genuine after one phone call to the servicing garage even though they were aware that it had a family connection to the car dealer. They have made no further investigation to put our minds at rest and 5 months on whilst still providing a financial service to the dealer. We are having to take legal action against Close Brothers as they are jointly liable for the vehicles description at time of sale. Reviewed on: 25th February 2019
