Check Finance Avis 157

Scammers. Unsure how they got my name and address but I’ve never had a car, let alone car finance. If anyone receiving this letter is tempted to contact them in the hopes of getting money back please go to a reputable site such as money saving expert instead.

It is a scam, despite being a genuine company. Letter received at an address i haven’t lived at for 30 years, in my maiden name, claiming I was eligible for compensation. I’ve had many car finance agreements, a small number in my maiden name but never registered to the address that the letter was sent to. A scam for sure, using very old data. Chuck it in the bin.

SCAMMERS! Beware!

Got a letter today, march, with a letter dated December, stating they think I am eligible for compensation from car finance.

I have never had a car on finance in my life.

This company seems to be fraudulent and a scam.

The FCA warned about companies like this.

Do not send them your details!

Just received a letter from this firm re my car finance agreement . Weird that I have never had a car in my life

scam i get the letter but i never take car finance !!!!!!!!!

Just received a brown envelope this morning, with the heading you could be owned compensation. True to the fact the first thing I thought was, I’ve never taken out car finance in my life. So the alarm bells was ringing straight away. This bought me to an easy decision. Torn and straight in the bin. Be aware people things that may appear to good and easy might be your greatest down fall. Take care all.

Scam-received letter saying eligible for compensation for car finance- I've never had car finance ,letter looks legit ,got a qr code to scan aswell,I've thrown it in the bin as I know it's a scam with never having car finance, I'm not drawn into the £1,960 average pay out they said people get- Never had car finance so due £0 in compensation-don't fall for the £ say you can get,if you haven't had car finance you won't get anything,don't thing you can get £ for nothing.
NO CAR FINANCE =£ 0 IN COMPENSATION
BIN THE LETTER

SCAMMERS! RECEIVED LETTER THIS MORNING DESPITE NEVER HAVING A DRIVING LICENSE!!! I WILL BE TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST YOU FOR FRAUD!!!

Spam company, sent me a letter saying they could reclaim some of my car finance payments, I've never had a car on finance.

Never took car finance out in my life, what a scam, everybody be careful as it looks legit with the brown envelope the lot! Do not contact or scan qR code, rip it up and put it in the bin, only place it should be is the bin!

I have received a letter from them this morning about car finance. I have never had car finance. I don't have a licence and have never passed my test. I couldn't drive if I wanted to as im disabled. Something needs to be done about this company. Its a complete scam!!!

As a disabled pensioner i have had a Motability car for the past 17 years so God knows where these idiots are coming from, bunch of scammers no doubt

Scammers, bought my details from somewhere now texting and writing to me claiming their records show I'm owed money from car finance agreement. Total load of bull

What a load of tosh! Don't be fooled it's a scam!
- Brown envelope, suggesting an official letter...
- The letters layout very similar to HMRC letter layout.
- Suggestion in the letter that they work in cooperation with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Letter content inviting to register on their website to check the eligibility for the money back from historic car finance.

I am a disabled pensioner &received a letter today from CHECKFINANCE.I had finance for car 20 years ago,so was tempted to scan bar code.THANK GOD I DID NOT.THESE PEOPLE ARE SCUM

Received letter inviting me to claim compensation but I’ve never had car finance - dodgy!

SCAM SCAM SCAM
Clear data breach somewhere as the letter came addressed to my email address.
Never had a car finance agreement.

Obvious scam. I have only ever bought a car with full payment; never used finance; so I knew at once the letter I received today was a 'cold call' if not worse.
It looks very plausible though!
Unfortunately there may be others out there who might be duped. Beware!
The other reviews here speak volumes...

Scam!

They sent me a letter through the post saying that their records indicate that I may be due compensation on a previous car finance agreement. Unfortunately for them, I don’t have a previous car finance agreement so knew immediately it was a scam.

This post is really just to correct previous inaccurate posts and is not a comment on the Check Finance services. The company has existed since 2018 and is registered as Claim Simple Ltd. This information is given on the letter they send out. Why don't people look, it's not difficult to find. Consequently I doubt it's a scam - people should do their research before crying foul. Whether or not the company is any good is a different matter.
