They trusted me after a bad time during covid lockdowns

I suffered badly during the lockdowns, borrowing money I couldn't pay back to pay bills as I was in zero-hour contract work when they started and was then told i couldn't work. I even had to sell my old vehicle and more to get by! By the end of the last lo down, I needed to get back on the road as I was able to find a full time job. Most companies refused to help me finance something, but these gave me a chance and they have zero regrets - I've never missed a payment and even financed a newer vehicle with them this year. My hope it to continue using them to get my credit score back up to pre-covid levels. Thank you, first response finance, for giving me the chance to continue working Reviewed on: 11th May 2025
