Go above and beyond

FR were brilliant from the beginning. As someone who's struggled with credit in the past they managed to secure a reasonable finance agreement for myself with a 0 deposit and this was done within 48 hours of the application going through. Also their customer service is second to none, each time I've called its been answered within two minutes and the advisors are so understanding, professional and go out their way to help.

I choose first response finance for my car finance because I read so many good reviews. I actually was surprised how supportive they were when considering me for car finance. Also accommodate my payments accordingly. Rates are good also and payments are manageable. I would highly recommend this finance company. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

A company that takes the time to listen, without judgment.

5
I have dealt with around five car finance companies throughout the past month, each one saying they try their best to help, they listen and do not judge. I was left without callbacks, waiting around, once they realised my credit score and my history it was deadly silence. I was sent to First Response Finance through a car dealership, and I have to say from the second I applied to my finance being approved the process was seamless. I was phoned by Jordan, who really took the time to go through my history, to listen to why everything was the way it was, and not once did I feel judged. He really did try his best to understand and to find the best financial solution to get me a new car, not pushing me to go above what I could afford. I am super thankful, finally a company that not only lives up to their promises, but goes above and beyond them. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021
