Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 42 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people expressed significant concern about unsolicited letters offering car finance compensation, questioning how their personal details were obtained for agreements they never had. Customers frequently viewed these communications as suspicious. Reviewers also found the company's website problematic or non-existent, advising against scanning QR codes or providing personal information. However, some people noted the letters appeared professional and authentic. Despite these observations, reviewers consistently raised concerns about the unsolicited nature of the contact and the lack of specific car details in the letters.

Zero Stars. Scam!

If I could, I'd give zero stars.
A letter arrived in the post with my name and address from Check Finance saying that their records indicate that I may be due compensation on my previous car finance agreement!
I've never had car finance! In fact, I don't have a licence and never intend to drive. I'm very concerned as to where they got my details.
Reported the company to the FCA.

Unwanted

Unwanted, unjustified, unsolicited contact - never had Finance for a car. Be aware of this company. In addition to a letter, I am also receiving unwanted calls despite several attempts to stop all contact.

Rubbish or scam

Had a letter today saying their records indicate i may be due compensation on previous car finance agreement.
What a load of rubbish - I've never bought a car or motorbike with finance through a dealer. All vehicles were paid in full or partly with a bank loan.
I've just checked the company details on FCA firm checker & this is the result:-

If you can't find the firm you searched for, this could mean:

1) The firm may not be safe to deal with

If you've been contacted by a firm offering a financial product or service and we don't have a record of the firm, it may be working without our permission. This means it may not be safe to deal with.

If you're concerned you may have been contacted by an unauthorised firm, find out how to contact us.

2) We don't regulate the product or service the firm is offering

Firms will only appear on this list if they're offering a product or service we regulate or supervise. If you can't find a firm, check if the product is one that we regulate.

3) You're searching for an individual, or a firm that is no longer (or not yet) authorised

We don't include individuals on this tool. This tool also only includes firms that currently have our permission to offer products and services, as it's only these firms that are safe to deal with. You can find details of individuals and firms that previously had our permission on the Financial Services Register.

4) You should try searching again

Check that you've typed your search terms correctly. You could also try including more or different details, as this may help refine your results. Click on 'More search options' above for other ways to search.

I'd be very reluctant to proceed with this lot
