Very happy servis all ways trying to keep prices low and beet last year price Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Should be ashamed!

Should be ashamed, taking the money of the wrong bank account, then applying a fee which is almost as big as the actual payment, under the trading standards and consumer rights this is unfair! Failing to notify the consumer of missed payment, and applying the charge is not right! Telephone customer service is shocking, rude "assistant" named Abrsede, that could barely speak English, found almost impossible to understand what he was saying. Will encourage all my family and friends to leave this provider including myself and go elsewhere for good! Reviewed on: 15th February 2023

Novitas Loans owned by Close Bros, were back door P2P

Close to the market and close to their clients Close Brothers whilst a well established company have moved with the times

Their staff always act in a professional manner and I never have any problems in dealing with them, always available to act in the best interest of their clients Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Shocking company!!!

Shocking company!!! Used them(not by choice) to finance my public liability insurance, setup my direct debit with them when taking out my insurance then they took it upon themselves to add my ex business partners bank details to my account, trying to take the money out of his account for my insurance which id go as far to say they broke the data protection act and commited fraud. After countless phone calls and being told i have to wait 8 weeks for a complaint to be processed ive got my ex business partner threatening me with the police and chasing me for his bank charges but close brothers dont seem to think its a important issue and dont want to take the matter serious!! If you are going to use this company be very careful and make sure they follow data protection. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020
