Yes, we do offer leases to individuals with bad credit. We understand that credit issues can happen, so our approach is to look at each case individually. While we do perform a soft credit check to verify your address and identity, we don’t rely solely on credit scores or computers to make our decisions. We’re just people who will listen to your situation, and the decision is ultimately ours. If there are any credit issues, it’s best to provide us with some background information, so we can consider your application comprehensively. Feel free to get in touch, and we’ll be happy to discuss your options!
The deposit required can vary depending on the vehicle and the specific lease terms. Typically, we ask for a deposit equivalent to one or two months of the monthly payment. For example, if your monthly payment is £400, the deposit could be around £400 to £800. However, the “Flexi” in First Flexi Lease is exactly that — we try to be as flexible as possible and can tailor the deal to suit most budgets. We can increase or reduce initial payments or monthly rentals to try to get you within your budget. Feel free to reach out to us, and we’ll work with you to find the best solution!
While we can’t skip the credit check entirely, we do perform only a soft credit check. This is used primarily to verify your address and identity. If you’re concerned about your credit, providing proof of income, bank statements, and any other relevant financial documents can help us assess your application more flexibly. We’re more interested in your ability to afford the lease rather than just your credit score alone.
