Hi Robert,

We’re sorry to hear you’ve been unhappy with your experience. However, we believe there may be some confusion regarding the company you have reviewed.

Payment Assist did not sell you the warranty referred to in your review, nor do we have any control over the warranty’s terms, coverage or claims process. As such, the concerns raised regarding the warranty do not reflect the service provided by Payment Assist.

We have confirmed that your Payment Assist agreement was cancelled via Trade Centre. If you have any concerns regarding the warranty itself, we would recommend contacting the company that sold the warranty to you, as they will be best placed to assist with the points you have raised.

We’d be happy to discuss any concerns relating specifically to your Payment Assist agreement if you contact our Customer Services team directly.

Best wishes

Hi Andy,

We're delighted Payment Assist gave you the flexibility to go ahead with the work on your car when paying the full cost upfront wasn't an option.

It's great to hear that spreading the cost over three interest-free payments worked so well for you.

Second time I've used Payment assist when handed what can only be described as a very hefty car repair bill. Both times the application has taken less than two minutes and is extremely simple. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. It certainly takes the stress out of a shock Mot repair bill or general high cost repair bill.
Will definitely use again in the future if the need arises.
Excellent service !!!

Hi Gra,

There's no better endorsement than choosing to use Payment Assist again when faced with another unexpected repair bill.

We're delighted that both applications were completed in under two minutes and that spreading the cost helped take some of the stress out of those hefty car repairs.

Thank you for recommending us so highly, and we look forward to being there if you need us again.

0% interest generated great interest

I was going to pay cash which would have left me short over the next month so when offered 0% over 4 months why not, only do this if you can afford the subsequent payments,it doesn’t remove the payment it delays it,the process was extremely easy and stress free and enabled me to get a very good offer, a useful tool but please remember you have to pay the money back
