The best vehicle finance company for people with past credit problems

5
I have been a customer since 2016 and I am now on my fourth vehicle agreement with them. They have always helped me out and resolved any issues or concerns I've had with any vehicle purchase, I fell behind a few times with payments and they helped me get back on track again. Thier system is pure class in every aspect. Reviewed on: 11th August 2022
