4th finance agreement ! Says it all

5
Currently have 2 finance agreements running with FRF one for my car and the other my motorbike, this takes my total finance agreements with them up to 4 in the last 4/5 years. Everything is very clear throughout the borrowing process and being able to get early repayment options and settlement figures at the touch of a button is great. No fuss service, Ive been messed around with other finance providers in the past trying to change terms after you’ve already agreed your obligations and put a deposit down. However with FRF even though the APR is slightly higher than some it’s been very transparent with no hidden costs Reviewed on: 11th June 2025
