I have never dealt with this company until recently where by they did a hard search on me without my knowledge or consent. I called them on the 5th of May and was asked to email. I had a response on the 7th saying it had been forwarded to the relevant department. I chased on the 15th and requested to make a formal complaint and here we are on the 19th and still nothing. I believe this company has breached data protection laws (GDPR) by accessing my data without a lawful basis, and unless dealt with I will be reporting them to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) I DONT EVEN DRIVE!
I have seen your reply, the email you provided for contact is the one I have been already using so I have little faith in your response.
I provided further information and have yet t get a response, an apology or the removal of the unsolicited hard search.

I've never done car finance before and I found it really simple and easy to do.
I did have issues with providing a recent wage slip via my portal. But I managed to resolve this issue through the car finance team who helped me to sort this out.
A very smooth sail via the company and I feel that I can trust them and I'm confident with them

I have had nothing but problems with close brothers finance from day one. And I would certainly never go with this company again as long as I live.
Absolutely the worst finance company I have ever had. And I may just say that I have had finance all my life with other companies and never once had an issue with any of them.

They were a great service, everything went smoothly, the guy at the dealership was brilliant, really helpful and I'm highly delighted with my vehicle. I would recommend both services.

Good Rates but if you have a problem and want to talk to anyone don't bother. Hours on hold and then the phone just disconnected. The customer service only work Monday to Friday. That's if you can even get through.
They send messages through a secure portal because their system is having issues so are unable to ring out !!! I don't believe that for a minute. These messages get read eventually and it appears to me all they do is protect their partner dealers. My vehicle was gone for 47 days after it caught on fire within 300 miles of collection from BINCA and I looked to them for help as yet still to be concluded. If you are expecting any understanding as a disabled person these are the wrong people to deal with as talking to a human being is in my experience impossible.

Tell them to say good morning how can I help you?
Not start asking for numbers
