Helped when I needed it most

Like most the struggle of getting a new car was hard for me- I had run my previous car into the ground due to the mileage I use for work as a home care manager- First Response Finance accepted me on my income not my past credit history which was rather dire. They were quick and very good with communications. The whole process took only a matter of days before I was on the road again in my new Mokka Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

Brilliant service

I was unsure if I’d be accepted with First Response finance. Once I was approved they explained everything to me perfectly clear. I spoke with multiple people from the company and each time I was amazed at how they dealt with my queries. I was always updated. I had an issue with the first motor company I looked at buying a car with and I let first response finance know that I was unhappy with the motor company’s dealings with me. First response finance ensured me that if I was not happy with the motor company, I could change to a different one. They dealt with the motor company on my behalf and informed them I would not be purchasing a car with them. I found an alternative motoring company and was extremely grateful for how they helped me make this happen. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

When dealing with "First Response" Finance Company 1 year ago, we found them to be very professional in their approach to their customers and nothing was too much trouble in dealing with us and getting us to understand everything very clearly! I thoroughly recommend "First Response" Finance Company to anyone who wish to use them. With very best regards, Mrs Shirley Griffiths. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022
