Dear Anthony, we're sorry you have been disappointed with our service. Unfortunately, we were provided with inaccurate information when your application was proposed by your dealer and this led to a change in the outcome. Every effort was made to communicate these changes promptly. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

Evolution funding will not be used again by me. It most definitely will not be recommended to anyone either. Danny & dean seemed very unprofessional as they was late with my finance car approval, Their attitude was unbothered, rude & very disrespectful….following on to dean saying may I quote “ what would you like me to do about it “ I think is quite rude I do not recommend this company keep as far away as you can save your time and money

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY they will waste your time and apply their own rules my mother tried to get a financed car and was approved she then paid a deposit and after a long process they then refused on the basis of having a provisional despite being told this was ok they decided to decline They all stated there is procedure for individuals who hold provisional licenses but they instead made up other reasons why For health reasons she needed a car they then manually decided to decline after a lengthy unfair process She was assured that she will not be penalised for this

Dear Rochelle, we’re sorry to hear that you and your mother have been disappointed with your experience. We have investigated the issues you have raised. As a broker, we propose applications through to a panel of lenders. To be accepted, your mother’s application would have needed to fulfil the lender’s criteria. Unfortunately, your mother’s application was unable to fulfil any of our lenders’ criteria and therefore we had to decline it. This is outside of our control but we’re sorry it caused you or your mother inconvenience and frustration. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

I’m very disappointed at this stage as my contract started on 27th of October 2021 and still haven’t got my vehicle and not sure if I ever will receive it.

Hi Zacari, we are sorry that you are feeling disappointed. However, we are unsure as to the reason for leaving Evolution Extra a negative review as there does not appear to be an issue with the finance we have arranged for you. Your application arrived with us at 9.30am on 26th October and we had paid out by 4pm on 27th October. As the finance broker, we do not arrange supply of the vehicle and therefore you would need to take this up with your dealer. If we can be of any further assistance, please get in touch. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Unhelpful and by no means customer or solution-orientated. Couldn’t answer any of my questions and misinformed me with regards to who I needed to liaise with. Declined my preferred option and offered me another option that was higher in price… totally and utterly nonsensical!

Dear Customer, we're sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the deal we offered you. The type of finance and rate that we can offer will be based on your personal circumstances and credit rating. As a company working in a heavily regulated industry, this is not something we can influence. In addition, our adviser answered all of your questions but unfortunately this did not lead to your desired outcome. We wish you all the best with finding a solution that works for you. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

Between yourselves and money barn the communication was appalling 3, I would have to ring you evolution for updates and then to be told to go into the car dealership to sign form upon form then getting told by evolution to back date forms with old dates on which I don't think is legal, so the whole experience was shocking, to be honest I'm not filled with hope I will get a response from this email as it was me doing all of the chasing.

Dear Christian, we're sorry to hear that you have been unhappy with your experience. We have looked into the details of your complaint and it would appear that because you struggled to use our online e-sign facility, we had to use manual documents sent to your dealer. These documents were not completed correctly, including the dates. As a regulated business we have a duty to all parties, including the customer, to ensure that all paperwork is correct. This is especially as incorrect paperwork would have prevented your loan from being paid out. Your loan has now been paid out and we hope you enjoy your new car! Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

Worst experience I have ever had when dealing with finance for two weeks we have been going back and forth speaking to different people and getting a different story each time! Part of our acceptance was we sold our previous car and paid our old finance off! We now have no car no way of getting to and from work and my emails and calls are still being ignored!

Hi Steven, thank you for your review and we're sorry that you have been disappointed with the speed of the transaction. Your application involved more stages than normal due to the nature of the deal. Whilst Evolution have actioned things as quickly as we could have, we should have managed your expectations better. We have taken on board your comments in order to make improvements to our process. We hope you enjoy your new car. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

Dear Elvis, we're sorry that you have felt let down by our service. We have reviewed the email you were sent and it does clearly state that you need to contact your dealer to arrange to collect your car. Our understanding is that you drove straight to the dealership before checking with the dealer. We appreciate that this has caused some frustration but we do hope you enjoy your new car once you are able to collect. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

Avoid this company!!. Let you down at the last minute. Finance was agreed 2 weeks ago then declined with less than 24 hours of collecting my new car. I have already sold my old car and now left with 5 children to get to school etc. with no car. Total disgrace.

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Sorry to hear you are disappointed with your experience – as a regulated business we follow very strict procedures on behalf of our lenders - the lender required additional checks following your conditional acceptance, which led to them withdrawing the offer for finance. We strive for excellent customer service and your feedback has been passed on to the relevant teams. With regards, Evolution Funding.

The whole process was extremely bad.. the documentation had to be rewritten 3 times as it was wrong.. I was never called or notified with updates it was me that had to call to find out anything.. it’s by far the worse service I have had and I would not recommend this company

The customer service is terrible and being lied to is just unacceptable! They Blamed the dealer for their mistakes and then lied about it, I caught them out, when I spoke with the finance company. Daniel Cliffe would wait over 12 hours to inform of something only after I called to speak to him 4 times. I would not recommend Evolution to anyone! A complaint is being sent to the Financial conduct authority.
