Second time customer

I am currently using First Response to pay for my car that I use for work. It's my second vehicle I have bought using First Response. After my first time, I saw no reason to use anyone else. They are a pleasure to deal with, no nonsense finance and real people on the phone, not fixed responce robots like some companies. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

I have been with first responce now for going on 4 years plus and never have had to ring them regarding my payments or change my details Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

Easy process from start to finish

5
I’ve been a customer of first response finance for some time now having had finance through them for a number of vehicles including motorcycles each time the process was straightforward and everything explained in plain terms. The finance was tailored around the amount I could afford to pay and because I am paid on a weekly basis the finance is paid by direct debit weekly too so I have no big bills once a month I would highly recommend them to anyone who has adverse credit because they look at your affordability and not your past The rates may be slightly higher in the first instance but once you’ve proven you can maintain your agreed payments then if you refinance with them you get a better rate and it all helps build a better credit rating Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

Great service
