I didn't have the best credit rating, but I didn't have the worst and FRF just ran through my personal situation, ran the numbers and offered my a good rate that allowed me to buy a good car to get me to work and look after my family. Clear, concise and pleasant throughout, a pleasure to work with. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021
