I’ve had a fantastic experience with this finance company from start to finish. The whole process was smooth, straightforward, and completely stress-free. Everything was explained clearly, so I always felt confident about what was happening and what my options were. The customer service was excellent — friendly, professional, and always quick to respond whenever I had questions. They really went above and beyond to make sure everything worked out for me. What stood out most was how easy and hassle-free they made everything. It’s rare to find a company that combines efficiency with such a personal touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy finance support. Definitely a 5-star experience! Reviewed on: 23rd April 2026

Reply from First Response Finance Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I'm happy that we could help you with the purchase of your new vehicle! In regard to our interest rates, we’re open and transparent about how much we charge (the APR is different for each customer), and our customers are provided with the cost of borrowing before entering into a contract with us - this way they can make an informed decision on whether to proceed with buying a vehicle through finance. If you have any questions about the APR you've been charged, our Account Management team will be able to discuss this further with you - their phone number is 0115 946 6368 and their email address is [email protected]. Take care, First Response Finance. Response date: 27th April 2026
