Avoid this finance company

Avoid this finance company. I rejected a vehicle with serious health and safety faults that made it unsafe and undriveable, yet two weeks later Evolution Funding / Startline have still not arranged collection or unwound the finance.

They have been non‑responsive, provided no support, and left me stuck with a dangerous vehicle I cannot drive. Their delay has forced me to pay insurance and parking for a car I legally rejected, and I’ve now received an £80 PCN because of their inaction.

They sold and financed the vehicle, but when it came to rejecting it, they did nothing. Completely unacceptable service.

Car - LV65 POJ. I have called the complaint line many times with several emails to resolve this issue. You have refused to help me nor provide any update.
