Again like the previous review, quick to give you money but when I came under financial strain there was no negotiation. Threatened to send a collections letter and basically said it wasn’t their problem. All I had asked for was an extension on the repayment and a lesser amount due to cash flow problems. I mentioned that on my account they did say that I should contact them if they were having difficulty with repayments and they had a number of options. This is not true, they have none other than a collection letter. I had been contacting them relentlessly for 3 wks prior to the payment for options and they didn’t come back to me until 2 days before the payment to say that I had no alternative other than to pay it.

Mixed Experiences with Iwocas Financial Solutions

Business Loan 20th November 2023

As a business owner, I turned to iwoca.co.uk, attracted by their motto, “We’re building finance that works for your business.” Initially, my experience was positive,... As a business owner, I turned to iwoca.co.uk, attracted by their motto, “We’re building finance that works for your business.” Initially, my experience was positive, especially when managing regular payments. However, challenges arose when I faced financial difficulties. During this period, I found iwoca’s support less than satisfactory. Despite their assurances that a County Court Judgment (CCJ) would resolve my issues, they proceeded with a Charging Order three months later. This action contradicted their earlier communications and added to the stress of my financial situation. Moreover, I encountered significant communication hurdles. Approximately half of my emails went unanswered, and when responses were provided, they often reiterated the need to “secure Iwoca’s position,” without offering tangible solutions or support for my circumstances. Their claim of being FCA regulated is true, yet I felt this did not translate into fair or supportive treatment during my time of need. This experience has left me questioning the balance they strike between business interests and customer support. While iwoca may offer effective financial solutions under normal circumstances, my experience suggests that they may fall short in offering the necessary support and guidance when customers face financial hardships.

I applied for business funding and they made swift contact, only to start asking for proof upon proof of income, contracts, solictor and accountant's reports and the like. For a sole trader who does his own accounts this was nigh on impossible, and after much deliberation (which took ages) Iwoca rejected me. They then passed my details over to a bunch of other companies that were clearly on some sort of referral scheme and the deluge of calls began. Not the best experience. Read more Read less
