Excellent service
Very helpful, and honest. If they were not able to give an answer to a question, they found out and got back to me the same day. Lucy was very helpful, understanding and always cheerful. They certainly deserve a five star review, their was nothing to complain about, they provide a very good service and deserve to do well. Many thanks

I had a brilliant experience with red potato, they set up my finance and found me my car i never thought id end up with a 18 month old car, looking on finance i was expecting to pay high rates for a 5 or 6 year old car but I highly recommend red potato and premium plan as the rates of finance is pretty good for a 2015 plate - compared to other finance companies who specialise in bad credit. Couldnt be happier.

Thanks for the feedback Darrell, we really appreciate it!
Great service giving people a second chance.
I was a bit hesitant at first going through Red Potato as there are so many bad credit lenders looking to rip you off that it's easy to think they are another one. I applied and received a call the next day to follow up the application. After completing this and sending the documents they asked for I was contacted by the finance company RP use, Premium Plan.
I went through the checks with PP and then got my decision through by email. Adam from RP rang me and we went through what car I was looking for etc., I found a car, Adam reserved it for me through the dealer (Bristol Street Motors, not some back alley dealer) and now I'm just waiting for a call from the sales team to arrange collection of the car for this weekend.
All in all, a good experience with Red Potato, Adam was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and it's refreshing that there are companies out there looking to help people in my situation. I was a fool with my money when I was younger but learned from my mistakes and now RP have given me a much needed second chance. Obviously you'll pay a bit more than you would with good credit, but I've only got my younger self to blame for that. I'd highly recommend Red Potato to anybody who needs help getting a car with bad credit.
Adam from RP and Chelsea and Nicki from PP were stars, great customer service that you don't even get from bigger companies.
