If it wasnt for Glenside

If it wasnt for Glenside, I wouldnt have got my first car. Theyve been great throughout, fully understanding, human and its great to deal with real people that make decisions independently.

I made some bad decisions financially and it has haunted me ever since, it continues to do so and ive had some ups and downs with financial struggles due to this but Glenside have worked with me, understood that its not all black and white and helped me work through it. I hope to stay with them for many cars to come!

Yes I only have 1 review, yes this is a gebuine review, just happens to be my first review on TP.

Fantastic service was losing hope of getting finance due to being messed around by so many lenders. Glenside were helpful, informative and friendly. Their manager Anthony rang me to ensure everything was ok before payout too which I thought was a great personal touch. Can’t wait to upgrade in 3 years and improve my credit in the meantime. If I could give more stars I would

Glenside said YES to me when others said no

Glenside helped me, they gave new a new opportunity to rebuild my credit. Their customer service is exceptional and friendly. Within days I drove off in my new car. I have almost come to the end of my payment agreement and would really like to take this opportunity to thank them. I would recommend them to anyone who's had credit issues and looking for car finance.

The first step to repairing your credit history

All In all a very good service, yes the interest is higher than your normal finance company, but nothing is for free.
Being an ex bankrupt, Glenside were able to help me. My only critic is - being that most people with bad credit would use this company - there seems to be little incentive apart from the fact your credit history is good after 4 years of paying the agreement, I would guess that Glenside have to deal with late payments etc, A suggestion would be if you made 12-18 months of payments with no problems that the finance company re-assigned the credit agreement to a lower APR, this way everyone would work extra hard to make there payments and repair there credit history

Thanks

We have used Glenside Finance for over 20 years

We have used Glenside Finance for over 20 years and one word sums up the company ‘outstanding’ nothing is too much trouble and business is always conducted in a professional and friendly manner.

It’s just a pity Jim’s guitar playing doesn’t match the same high standard as his company !!!!!

Superb service - look at the individual rather some score

Superb service from Glenside. Sarah was exceptional and very helpful. Only regret is that I didn't go to Glenside first. They look at the individual and all the circumstances rather than just a credit score. Required additional documents which were readily supplied. Very professional. Highly recommended.
