About
Dimitri sits on the WeCarFinance broker panel and arranges regulated UK car finance every working day. He specialises in the applications that generalist brokers and app-only lenders decline first — self-employed income, CCJs, thin files, BFPO addresses, and customers new to the UK. Most weeks he is on the phone to lenders' underwriters explaining context a scorecard cannot see: why an SA302 dip was a one-off, why a defaulted account was already settled, why a Skilled Worker visa still leaves a full agreement inside term. Every guide with his byline is drafted from live cases, cross-checked against FCA CONC guidance, and signed off by the compliance reviewer before it goes live. If a page carries his name, he stands behind it in writing and on the phone.
