We recently decided to acquire a lot of…

We recently decided to acquire a lot of new office equipment as our business is expanding quite rapidly and we approached Rivers.

They could not have been more helpful and we completed not one, but two transactions.

Those who have complained about Rivers give me the impression of being quite naive business-wise - I mean, what businessman doesn't read the small print, particularly when borrowing money to finance an important purchase ?

Blaming the finance house isn't a reason to give a poor review - surely it's the responsibility of the borrower to ensure that he or she knows what they are doing.

If they don't, then perhaps they should consider a different career path ?

But I can honestly say that Rivers have been professional, clear, concise, and very helpful.

Complete ROBBERS

Complete ROBBERS! I wish I never ever signed a contract with them I’ve been a customer for over 3years on a leased machine (not reading the small print) was made to believe it would only be 3 years not 5!!!! Covid hit me hard and my business they’ve already made back the cost of the machines £30k over the 3 years, they haven’t helped me a single bit since covid when I said I cannot keep up with payments they’ve told me I have to continue paying over £1200 a month which is absolutely ridiculous my company is now dissolved I haven’t had any clients yet they aren’t the slightest bit sympathetic! I will be talking to lawyers and will happily stand up in court against these robbing b*****ds!

Unhelpful and do not care but for there pockets!!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing! Never completely read the small print. I was sold a loan and a lease agreement with a smile and have regretted it ever since. The Agreements did not even have an interest rate specified and upon numerous requests was not provided with one. When I could not keep up with the repayments because of Covid, Rivers refused to listen and help. Completely misled by the broker and Rivers. I urge anyone who's thinking of going with these peopl e- STOP! you will end up paying double for what you take out. If it's of any solace i have reported them to the Ombudsman.

Qamar.

Our business

Our business - as many - was hit hard by COVID - 19. We spoke to a chap there called Rishi who was very sympathetic with our plight.The help, efficiency and understanding from Rivers Leasing Plc was second to none.Would 100% recommend!

Never get anything off these as they just rob you blind.

Never get anything off these as they rob you blind, I signed up for a coffee machine, vending machine and slush puppy machine, I got told the lease was over 3 years ( never read the small print,) now I know it’s 5 years at a cost of over £400 pm, costing me £24000, these 3 machines total value £13000 new, these are scandalous prices, over the last couple of months my Buisness has been closed due to covid-19 I’ve rang these guys to try and get some help while on lock down- self isolation to be told they can’t help me and I have to stick to the agreement of over £400 pm, these are a joke from start to finish, they just want your money and don’t give a crap about customers who struggle.

Great source of funding for my clients

If you are a finance broker looking for a new/additional funding provider then Rivers are a great choice.

Been working with them for just over a year now and they are very commercial in their outlook. Small, friendly team plus you can actually speak with the underwriters.

Highly recommended.
