Helped buying a car with bad credit

5
If anyone else has bad credit this is the company to use, they made the whole usually painful process of buying with poor credit very helpful. From start to finish it feels like your supported and with no hidden charges and extras it stops that normal feeling of being penalised because made mistakes in the past. Would recommend them to anyone Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Fast , friendly and efficient

I spent weeks looking at different offer and with bad credit I was getting to the lending stage and the repayment was unaffordable. I found first response finance through a broker and got an instant quote. They called me and spoke through everything over the phone and explained all prices and charges. The cherry on top was I was asked how long I wanted to take the finance over and how much I wanted to pay this is where they stood out from the rest. I wanted to pay £200/month but it didn't fall within the 48 month max they had so they compromised and let me pay it over 50 months at 200/month Outstanding company and can also set payments for each time you are paid so you never miss a payment Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

World Class Support

I first applied for Car Finance in 2019, FRF made the application easy. A usually daunting process was seamless and stress free. I renewed my finance in 2020 when I purchased a new car. It was even easier to do this, they gave me a value of what I was allowed and I chose my car accordingly. So easy, stress free helpful. Recommend to everyone. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021
