FIRST TIME USER - EXCELLENT.

This is the first time I've ever used a system like this to pay for three tyres I purchased from National Tyres / Halfords.
The system used to pay for the tyres using this payment method was very straight forward. It couldn't have been easier to be completely honest.
One deposit taken at the time the tyres are fitted and three further payments split equally over the next three months.
The most important factor being :
0 % INTEREST ON THE PURCHASE over the three monthly payments.
I will definitely be using the service again.
Very easy to use and navigate and easy to understand. Simply excellent.

A great company

Having had a bad experience after taking out a plan with Formula One, the team at Payment Assist went above and beyond in order to rectify the situation. I would not hesitate in recommending this company and will definitely use them in future for car repair finance.
