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?... Read This First. on Facebook where you can like, share, comment or add your own experiences. Reviewed on: 10th June 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
