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

I would highly recommend

From start to finish of the Purchase of my car they was so helpful and made sure I could pay the finance and not get myself into more debt they are very helpful and they make sure they give you a reasonable offer of repayments so you can afford to pay for it Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Professional, personal, service

The ease and speed at which everything was organised, especially with an import vehicle was excellent. The fact that I can deal 1:1 without a call centre for a professional personal service sets them apart. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Incredible

I struggled to get finance to help get me a car, untill I found out abit first response finance. They were amazingly friendly, understanding and incredibly helpful on the phone, and after that short phone call, within 20 minutes I was driving away in my new car, able to travel to work and haven't missed a payment. The repayments are very low and reasonable for the amount I have borrowed. Once again extremely happy with the level of service this company provides. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Amazing & understanding

5
After writing off my car and with bad credit on my name I began to struggle to find a vehicle and was close to losing my job as I needed this to work. FRF was absolutely fantastic and helped me in every way to assure I could afford a car within reason and not for me to be pressured into taking something I didn’t need. It took 2 days for all the processing for me to get the car I’ve wanted for a while and have been more than helpful. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Great service
