My purchase

I’ve emailed the company to say how dissatisfied I am regarding the condition of the bodywork, on the car that I purchased and STILL haven’t had a response.

Adi, we are sorry to read that your recent experience with us has not met the standards that you expect. In the first instance we would advise you to speak to the supplying dealer as we are your finance company and not directly responsible for the condition of the bodywork. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, we are available on 0141 483 2260. John H @ Startline
