I just looked at your website. I tried the chat window. I waited 2 minutes and no response so gave up.

I then called the 03.. number. I pressed 1 and spoke to Lucy. I asked if I could finance a car I already own. She said no because the money is sent to the dealer. I asked about buying cars off private individuals and she said that would work because the money is sent to the individual selling the car. So then I asked if you could send the money to me as I already own the car and again she said no.
Hi ATM, Sorry for any delay in responding to your queries via live chat. The number of visitors contacting us through our live chat facility increased beyond expectation since the launch of our new website on Monday. To accommodate this increase, more advisors are now available to help customers via live chat. We are now working to make live chat available 7 days a week between 8am and 10pm.

Yes, As Lucy advised our lenders don't offer logbook loans. You can find out more information about the types of car loans our lenders offer here: http://www.carloan4u.co.uk/understanding-car-finan...

In the case that you have and you're looking to re-finance it then we may be able to help you. But, if you're just looking to get equity from car then we wouldn't be able to help.

Thanks,
Dani

I nearly used Car Loans 4 U, but ended up going with a different lender. Mainly as the person dealing with me wasn't too helpful, amounts kept changing and kept needing more and more info.
Could have been my less than perfect credit history, but the other lender I found was much more helpful and had money paid within a day to the dealer, after laying it our straight away as to what they needed from me. Made it a much more pleasant experience.
Hi Tim, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry and really concerned to hear that you didn't find our advisor helpful. As mentioned in previous posts, providing exceptional customer service is of paramount importance to us. To date, you are the first customer who has fed back to me that they didn't find our team helpful. Therefore, I'd like to investigate the service you received from us further as a matter of urgency. Please could you email me with your full name, date of birth and post code so that I can locate your application records?

Thanks,
Dani
Hi Tim, Sorry to chase up on this but, as mentioned, I want to look into your experience when using our service urgently. Please can you email me (with your full name, date of birth and post code) so that I can verify your details and locate your application records?

Thanks,
Dani

Dani,

Many thanks for your help earlier and to either yourself or Ryan who stuck a rocket 'somewhere' to get things moving.
Certainly positive feedback from me as dealer. If you are someone with a chequered credit history you could do far worse the carloans4u.
Had a couple of bumps today, but upon raising the issues with Dani they were sorted quickly and properly. Had a number of other deals recently go via them without any hiccups.

Hi DjSki, I need to know more about your personal circumstances to assess whether we'd be able to help you. Please can you email me with any details you know about your credit history so that I can look into this further for you.

Many Thanks,
Dani

Dont you think Dani feels a bit robotic, like when you ask "Siri" a silly question

"Siri: Im sorry I dont know what 'eat my scrotum' is, would you like me to search the web"
hehe

Maybe "Dani" is a robot?

Made an enquiry over 12mths ago, got accepted, I turned the deal down due to laughable rates and being contacted daily to see if I had found a vehicle yet.

I still get a call from these around once a month asking if I am interested I'm car finance ... How many times can one person say "No" ...

Now added to the block list on my home and mobile phone, total joke the lengths needed to go to to avoid these hounding charlatans

Hi Stuart, Sorry to hear that you didn't think we offered you a competitive deal. I hope you were able to get car finance you were happy with elsewhere.

I'd also like to apologise if you've been receiving unwanted calls. To be honest, I'm both surprised and concerned that you have been receiving monthly calls as this isn't standard procedure. So, I'd really like the opportunity to investigate this further by looking into your records and all of our communications to you. Please can you DM me with your full name and telephone number so that I can verify your details? I'll then also make sure your contact details have been removed from our database so that you don't receive any further calls from us.

FAO all PHers, if anyone else receives any communications from Car loan 4U that you don't want to receive then please DM me with your telephone number and full name. I'll arrange for your contact details to be removed from our database with 24 hours.

Thanks,
Dani
