Great & Positive experience

I felt listened to and not judged when I discussed my financial situation with the advisor and I got a very positive outcome at the end meaning I was able to buy a car which I needed for work and personal use too. Reviewed on: 28th April 2025

I’ve been with first response for 6 years and they are so helpful and considerate. They have helped me raise my credit score a bit and I hope the next finance I get will have a lower interest rate because of this. They were so understanding when my husband lost his job and we had change from weekly to monthly payments. I have recommended them to a few friends who were also having trouble getting car finance. All round they are a great company Reviewed on: 28th April 2025

First response made the process of getting a car on finance easy for me, especially when it was a manic time. The customer service agents I dealt with always had the answers and never made me feel like my questions were not valid. Reviewed on: 28th April 2025
