Saved my skin!

When my previous car was written off and I couldn't afford to buy another, I seriously thought that my motoring days were over. My credit history isn't brilliant and at age 74 I thought that I wouldn't be able to get credit. However, First Response came to the rescue and I was able to purchase a not too old Ford Focus. The process was amazingly quick and straightforward and age wasn't a barrier. Perhaps you should change your name to Fast Response. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

Best finance on the market. Simple

I got refused finance every where. First response trusted me and took a massive gamble. And I’ve successfully been with them for 7years now. And they are ever so helpful. With sorting payments, accepting payment holidays. Honestly they are the best. And I’ve already recommended 4 of my family. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you first response Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022
