Dear George, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the rate you received with your application. We always aim to provide the best rate for our customers based on their circumstances and credit profile.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations. In this case, the process took longer due to some additional documentation required for your application - which is standard for this type of finance. On reflection, we appreciate this may not have been made clear enough upfront, and we are actively reviewing how we can better communicate times frames during instances like these. We would like to thank you again for using Evolution Extra. Kind regards, Evolution Extra

Dear Donna, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear things didn’t start off as smoothly as they could have. From what we understand, there was a bit of confusion at the outset around who was progressing the application. We always aim to keep things moving quickly and clearly. Once we had the opportunity to speak with you directly, we were able to pick things up right away - and we’re pleased we could complete and pay out the deal within 24 hours. We always strive to deliver that kind of fast, efficient service once everything is in place. Thanks again for using Evolution Extra. If you have any further queries or issues related to your application, please email complaints@evolutionfunding.com. Kind regards, Evolution Extra

Dear Alan, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We're really sorry to hear that your experience with Evolution Extra didn’t go as smoothly as it should have. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to be asked for additional proof of income after you were initially given the green light. We’ve already raised this with Moneybarn to help prevent the same thing happening again in future cases. We also appreciate that uploading documents via the Onfido link can sometimes be a bit tricky. It’s a vital step to help protect both you and us, and we're always reviewing ways to make the application journey as seamless as possible. Thanks again for using Evolution Extra and please don’t hesitate to reach out - our team is always here to support you. Kind regards, Evolution Extra

“Unfortunately, the isn’t a 0 out of 5 star option. Staff were very rude, unhelpful, caused problems all the way through the process. Poor communication, no urgency to resolve any issues . Would never use them again, nor recommend to anyone. I was actually walking out of the dealership and cancelling the whole thing when they finally sorted everything out. It was easier to set up my mortgage , than finance a car with these clowns. It was 3 days of hell.”

Hi Colin, thanks for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear you did not have a positive experience with us - we take all negative reviews seriously so have looked into your application further. We acknowledge there were some delays in your application while we performed due diligence checks on behalf of the lender. Your approved lender required a set of proofs that you were unable to provide, so we were able to place you with another lender that was able to accept the proofs available. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and your experience has been passed on to the relevant teams to drive improvements in our service. We hope you are enjoying your new vehicle. With regards, Evolution Extra.

Hi, we are sorry to hear you had a poor experience with us. As a credit broker, we work with a broad panel of lenders who each have their own criteria for acceptance based on a customers credit profile, personal circumstances etc. We understand that being declined is not the news you would want to hear, however we were unable to place you with a lender and our advisor explained clearly the reasoning behind this decision. With regards, Evolution Extra.

“Nice staff, much talking and promises but minuscule to no action. Took 2 weeks plus to complete a £4000 car (of course not a piece of land but imagine if it was?) financing transaction. Later on blame it on the dealer for not checking their email box after much promised to call the dealership and get back to me which never happened!! To speed things up, I had to call the dealership who was surprised and clueless about any transaction going on with the car of interest to me, even though Evolution squarely puts the blame on the dealership not sending over the invoice. Is Evolution cutting cost for making business outbound calls?????”

Hi, we are sorry to hear you are unhappy with our service. Unfortunately the turnaround times for payout with your approved lender have been varied and so it has delayed your application. Your review has been sent across to the team and one of our Team Leaders has picked this up right away to see if we can resolve this - we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
