Yes car grief - yes car threatening phone calls

Advantages: They give you finance on a car...
Disadvantages: They give you finance on a car...

...In March last year my old car (a Hyundai) was written off by my insurance company after i was hit by another car, i was therefore car-less and needed to be mobile as quickly as possible but my current insurance policy wasnt inclusive of a temporary replacement car and i would have to wait a while for the payment of my written off car so i was pretty desperate to be 'back on the road' asap - enter Yes car credit... 2 days after my accident i quite surprisingly got contacted by phone by Yes car credit (i have no idea how they got my number or how they knew i needed a car, it did seem odd and extremely coincidental at the time, however i didnt really think about it too much). The phone converstaion we had was very polite and a time was arranged for me to visit my local Yes car credit office in Birmingham so i could look at what they...

YES CAR CREDIT I DON'T THINK SO

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: just want your monmey and don't care

...After our bad experience with Yes Car Credit I wanted to let everyone else know. Through some fault of ours and the fault of others our credit score was really low and we were having problems getting a car. We badly needed a car as we had a baby and we needed to ferry him about to babysitters so we could work. Yes Car Credit are a company that specialise in dealing with people who have a low credit score or no credit score at all, they have their own finance company and do not have credit checks that is why they are able to offer finance plus the fact that they charge an over the rate 29.9% APR. They are not a showroom you do not get to pick the car you want, they tell you what car you can have, they give you 2 cars to choose from, the cars are all bought from car auctions so anything can be wrong with them, they have their own...

Yes Car Muppets!!

Advantages: Erm...nope. Can't find any.
Disadvantages: Dodgy, broken car taking weeks to fix

...I am a sucker. I must be, as I bought a car from YCC. I had a Peugeot 405 estate which was dying. It needed a lot of work to be done to bring it to a useable state and as I was getting married in a couple of months, I could not afford to get the work done. I remember the adverts (where they promise that "Yes, You Can" get a car on credit.) Now I have had credit problems in the past and thought that I wouldn't. However, I made the call and was surprised when I got the credit needed to get a new car. Yipee! It all started well. I asked my dad to come along and we went along to the Bristol branch. I must state at this point that I thought that the problems I had were just limited to Bristol (but now I see that they are not). I had gone with the intention of not driving my own car home again (so I took the 8 months tax back home...

Yes I'd love to take your money for a shoddy car

Advantages: Good for those with low Credit rating
Disadvantages: Watch for dodgy buys

...Yes car credit, more like ?here?s a duff car credit?. I can?t express my thorough disappointment in Yes Car Credit (YCC from her on in). It would make my day for someone from YCC to read this and respond because I have had enough of trying to call them. I would strongly advise anyone to think seriously about buying a car from this company. It all seemed so perfectly easy and such a brilliant idea for people such as my fiancée and myself. Being a little strapped for immediate cash, owning a Peugeot GTI which I hated, and trying to save diligently for our wedding this was as if someone had handed an unmissable opportunity to us. Richard, my other half, had heard of YCC on the TV and had crumbled to my gripes on the clutch problem our GTI had. I have little legs and couldn?t reach it properly, let alone push the tough pedal down...

Yes car credit.... No thank you

Advantages: a way of getting a car if you have finance probs
Disadvantages: too many to list

...It is long but please read it, it may save you from yes car credit. Oh how i wish i had found this site before i purchased from Yes car credit, unfortunately i was unable to get credit to buy a car due to a bad credit history i had aquired when i got divorced. I spoke to the Yes car credit head office who assured me i could get a car from them if i part ex'd my old rover (which was on its last wheels), and gave them a deposit of £200. They also stated i was not under any obligation as i still wasnt sure. The day arrived for my appointment at 1030, and despite my appointment i still had to wait to be seen, until somebody was free to see me. All the finance details were worked through - he then vanished to discuss with the finaince dept what i could afford - i had previoulsy set myself a limit of £230 a month maximum, he came...

**READ THIS** - YES CAR CREDIT

Advantages: Same day driveaway - even thats TBC!
Disadvantages: 99.9% of the story

...I will try to keep this brief...... Dec 03 I purchased a car from Yes Car Credit (YCC hereafter), and was pleasently suprised when they phoned me up and said 'we are pleased to accept your application'. At only 19 years old (18 at the time) I was vunerable, and just excited about getting a new car after passing my driving test. As you will read in other reviews, the customer service was rubbish, but unlike others I was in the Portsmouth Showroom from 1000hrs until 1730hrs. Not impressed! Anyway, drove my car out the showroom after part exchanging my vehicle for a mere £10! - Not that they tell you how much they are giving you for it, but in the heat of the day, you forget about the old car and focus on your new same day drive away one! Used the P/X for my deposit and they offered my £170 per month based on my income...

Buying a car the Yes way.

Advantages: You can get credit!
Disadvantages: Incredibly expensive, pushy, full of catches, car history is cloudy, they don't like taking cars back!

...and left us with a booklet explaining what to expect from our visit while she went off to talk to the underwriters. After a few minutes, she came back and explained that they had to use a different finance company which required a £100 deposit in addition to our old car. This was a setback as we really didn't have any money to spare this month. Sue told us if we paid the deposit, we would be able to spend up to £225 a month on our new car. Me and Phillip chatted privately and decided to see what was on offer before we said yes to the deposit. We also told Sue that we really only wanted to spend between £100-£150 per month. Off she went again and came back with a list of 3 cars to choose from. Our options were: a huge Mondeo estate, a slightly shabby looking Citroen Xantia and a vauxhall Astra. The Astra was perhaps the most appealing, but...

No...No...No... to Yes...Yes...Yes...

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Mithered to death by the over eager sales people

...About a year and a half ago we needed a new car and after applying at one or two places we were turned down. We decided to go and find somewhere else that would take us. Due to disability we had got into a pickle and my hubby was issued with a ccj which was paid off. But it still was on his credit file. The television adverts were the first place we saw Yes Car Credit. So I decided to look into this further. It took people with bad credit and we could drive out with a car the same day. Marvellous I thought so I sat down with hubby and told him all about it. Fine he said look into it more. I visited the website and all that had on it was we say yes... and an online application form. So I filled in all the bits and pieces and it came back saying we had been accepted and we would get a telephone call soon. A couple of hours...

Yes Car Credit

Advantages: Got a car when times were hard
Disadvantages: Not a good selection of cars

...used Yes Car Credit ( YCC ) first off 4 years ago. At that time my credit scoring was very poor and my old car had blown a head gasket. I did not have the finances to repair it so i opted for YCC. An initial phone call established my nearest dealer was Bristol, and before i knew it i was booked in. Granted, there availabilty was incrediable, basically they could fit me in whenever i wanted. The call was polite and professional. Hey ho, i was booked in for that Sunday morning. I recieved a letter the following day with confirmation details and a map. Not bad. The sunday came and we borrowed the wifes mothers car. Down we trekked for our 11am appointment. The building was very very easy to find and there was ample parking. Inside the showroom there were about 4 cars, a desk and a few side rooms. Within seconds a clerk attended to...

Yes... Yes... Yes...

Advantages: relatively painless, nice shiny new cars
Disadvantages: remember to stand your ground

...This is a long review, but it needs all of the background detail to put the full story across. Having researched Yes Car Credit on here and another consumer site, I was well armed for my quest for a new car. Having been turned down for credit elsewhere, I filled in all of the information on the Yes Car Credit website, which then told me I had been accepted for finance - this seems fine, but upon filling in the form again with bogus details (sorry mum!) i was still accepted, even though i said i was 18, earned £50 a week and was losing my job! So it seems as if everyone is accepted automatically, and they just work out the details when they get you into the branch. Straight after being accepted they expect you to make an appointment at one of their branches - no details are given to you about how much you can borrow, or even what...
