			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As excellent customer service is our main priority, we were extremely pleased to receive the following testimonial from a customer who used Livingstone Car Servicing last week:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Just a quick note to say that the service I received was first class.  Not only was the price for my service considerably cheaper than the price quoted by the BMW dealership, but the car was collected and returned after just 4 hours, having been professionally valeted.  I barely noticed it had gone!</em></p>
<p><em>Your telephone staff were exceptionally polite and helpful (big thanks to Nick).  In short &#8211; very impressed and I will be recommending your service to my friends and family.&#8221;</em></p>
<p> - C F Fearnhead, Hale, Cheshire</p>
<p>It is our aim to provide an excellent customer experience to all our customers and we love to hear from them once they have had their car service completed.  If you have tried our car servicing, please get in touch and let us know your feedback.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you recently been refused credit for your next vehicle?  If you have don&#8217;t worry &#8211; you are not alone.  In fact you are part of the majority in today&#8217;s climate.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s difficult times, banks and finance companies are looking for the perfect customer.  However,  precious few of these exist so what happens to all the other customers?</p>
<p>The customer who has a lot of open credit?<br />
The customer who has some slow paying credit?<br />
The customer who has some defaults or CCJ&#8217;s due to redundancy or divorce?<br />
The customer who owned his own business that was forced into an IVA or bankcruptcy and is now starting again?</p>
<p>Fortunately Livingstone Finance can help these customers finance their next vehicle.  We specialise in helping good people or businesses who happen to have some poor credit. </p>
<p>We have a supply of cars and vans that can be delivered directly to the customer, and can provide hire purchase or leasing options.</p>
<p>We will happily discuss any customer&#8217;s circumstances and requirements in order to determine how we can help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are finding that we are helping customers obtain the car finance that they need, even when the car dealer has initially been unable to help them via their existing finance companies.</p>
<p>Sometimes it takes a little bit of extra work and understanding to get a customer approved, and we take time to listen to our customers in order to present their applications to our finance companies with all the relevant details.</p>
<p>This allows the underwriters to make an informed decision over and above the credit score which does not always represent the true picture.</p>
<p>We are always looking for ways in which we can get an application approved and provide a finance deal which suits the customer, dealer and finance company.</p>

<p>We are not afraid of picking up the phone and speaking to the underwriters, or speaking to customers to gather more information.</p>
<p>Last week we were presented with a number of cases who had been rejected by prime funders.  These were good customers that just needed a little extra work doing to get the application approved.  Here are a few examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Professional business man looking for a Mercedes.  Application had been declined by three finance companies, we got the deal done and the customer is now driving his new car.</li>
<li>Self employed customer, just gone through a diffcult divorce, needing a new van.  We gathered bank statements and a full fact find to present to the finance company &#8211; customer is now driving his new van.</li>
<li>Customer with a good job, owns his own home but credit crunch has caused a few problems over the past couple of years.  Had been declined but we spoke to the underwriters to present more information on customers circumstances and the customer is now driving his new Citreon.</li>
</ul>
<p>To see if we can help you, please contact us on 0845 643 5058.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have spoken to a number of new car dealers who are getting tremendous numbers of enquiries for the new government schemes.  The problem appears to be the availability of cars.  New cars are consistently taking over three months for delivery. </p>
<p>Due to the credit crunch there are no great deals around on pre-registered as all cars are being completed to order.</p>
<p>Wonder what will happen if the government money set aside to support this scheme runs out during the order period for some of these cars?</p>
<p>Interesting times ahead as we find out!</p>
