Absolute jokers

Absolute jokers, they have allowed a Car Dealership to gain finance against cars they don't even own. Now they are sending letters to the Genuine owners basically threatening them with repossession or the police if they don't respond to this letter. Would definately no recommend!

Bad Credit but Still Treated Like a Valued Customer

I had a really positive experience with First Response Finance. Despite having a bad credit score, the whole process of getting approved was surprisingly quick and straightforward. They made everything feel easy and stress-free, which I honestly didn’t expect.

Their team was very professional both over the phone and through emails. Every time I had a question, they responded clearly and promptly, making sure I understood everything before moving forward. The communication was spot on from start to finish.

What I really liked is that they also have an extra layer of protection for customers. If you haven’t seen the car at the dealer yet, they can hold the money that would normally be transferred to the dealer after approval. This gives you real peace of mind because you know they are there for you and you’re not just another person they want to give a loan to and forget about.

Overall, very good experience, professional service, and I would definitely recommend them.

I can’t give a minus star rating unfortunately. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! I’ve had van that has needed a new engine, new turbo, New DPF, new Ad Blu and again needs a new turbo. This company has just fobbed me off to the Financial ombudsman service. Takes no responsibility and fobs you off hoping that you will just give up because you can’t be bothered with the hassle.

I applied for financing to buy a…

I applied for financing to buy a motorcycle after mine was written off a few months earlier. I got a message from First Response saying they could help with the financing. I’ve worked with First Response before, and the first experience felt a bit like an integration, so I was a bit hesitant to pick up the phone again. However, I’m glad I reached out again, as this time it was a pleasant surprise. The call handler was very polite and took the time to go over my credit history in detail, giving me a chance to clarify any inaccurate or incomplete information promptly. After a brief hold, my financing was approved at an acceptable interest rate considering my credit profile. The dealer received payment the next day, and I picked up the bike three days later. I can’t recommend this company enough.

Antwort von First Response Finance

Hi Ian,

Thank you for sharing your feedback — we’re sorry to hear you’ve been left feeling disappointed.

When we give an initial decision, it is always an in‑principle approval, meaning it is based on the information we have at that early stage. This is not a final offer of finance. Once we receive the remaining details, we carry out full affordability and verification checks to make sure any agreement would be responsible, sustainable, and in your best interests.

Sometimes, after reviewing the full information, we are unable to proceed — even if the in‑principle decision looked positive. We understand this can be frustrating, and it’s never our intention to mislead or cause inconvenience.

Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us continually improve the service we provide.

Antwort von First Response Finance

Hi Neil,

Thanks for your review. We’re sorry your refinance application outcome wasn’t what you wanted. When we assess any new lending, we must consider several factors — including affordability and your current level of indebtedness — to ensure responsible lending. Unfortunately, we cannot approve every application. Please accept our apologies on this occasion.

Kind regards,
First Response Finance

The Underwriter called me directly to go through my credit file which really helped as most companies make their decisions based on your credit score which does not accurately reflect how you manage money. The staff were very polite and it was a very smooth process, no stress or anxiety which was great and I picked up my car a few days later. Thank you again!!

Very Poor Customer Service No Support.

Very Poor Customer Service, Zero support
This companies customer service is very poor, and their customer support is non existent. They continuly try to take monthly payments before the scheduled date, than when payments fails they chase you constantly with threats of repossession of your vehicle. If you ask them to change something i.e. pay date or spread the cost of any arrears they never do it, despite them sending emails to give options. The customer account page always states your payment is due each month ( suggesting your in arrears even though your agreed payment date is 31 of the month. The vehicle I purchased broke down costing me a large sum to repair, when I first signed up with FRF they approved my loan, so I put a deposit of £500 on a vehicle that I wanted purchase with the approved loan, a few days later FRF refused to use the dealer as they did not match their criteria, Dealer refused to give my £500 deposit back so out of pocket, I complained to FRF znd they did nothing, said not there problem. This is despite FRF never telling me or advising that they fo not use any dealer, although there website adverts and marketing at the time suggested differently (Find the vehicle you want from any dealer we will provide the finance). I do not recommend this company and will be making a complaint to the financial ombudsman regarding there actions and behaviour to me.
