Reply from First Response Finance Hi Sid, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. 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: 17th June 2025
