Fabulous professional service. Highly knowledgeable with products & best fit. Customer service is second to none. Highly recommend.

An FCA-regulated lender that ignored a Subject Access Request for 14 months, then pretended it never received it

Shire Leasing declined a finance application citing "adverse credit" and "poor payment history." The credit file is clean. Every other lender agrees. So I asked them, formally, under UK GDPR, what data they were relying on.

They acknowledged the request within three days. Then nothing. Not one month, which is the legal limit. Fourteen months. From the firm's own Data Protection Officer.

When I complained again, the response arrived in under a week — and it re-dated my request to August 2026, as though June 2025 had never happened. Unfortunately for Shire, their own records, which they handed to me in that same response, contain a note dated 26/06/2025: "sent email to acknowledge DSAR." They logged it. They ignored it. Then they wrote a letter pretending otherwise.

And the "adverse information" they've been declining on for over a year? Their disclosure contains none. No credit report. No default. No missed payment. What it does contain is my date of birth entered wrong, my name searched as a company name, and a watchlist hit on a different person with the same name and no date of birth or country matched. That's what they've been calling adverse credit. Three times.

Their final response doesn't explain any of it. It says the decision was made at their "sole discretion." Which is the answer you give when you don't have one.

This is a company that will label you a credit risk, refuse to tell you why, ignore your legal right to find out, and then misstate its own records when caught. Now with the ICO and the Financial Ombudsman.

Very professional and efficient service from Bret
Would definitely use them again

Right from the start, dealing with Julie and all the staff at Shire Leasing has been a pleasure. Helpful, polite and do what they say they are going to do. Couldn't ask for more.

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Shire Leasing and in particular Emma Fellows and would highly recommend them to other businesses looking for funding. Having worked with Emma over the long term, we’ve always found her professional, reliable and genuinely committed to helping our business succeed.

The funding they provided made a real difference to our business, and the process was straightforward and well managed from start to finish. Communication has always been excellent, and we’ve really valued having a long-term relationship with a team we can trust.

A very positive experience all round — thank you for your continued support and for helping our business grow!

Always helpful and professional Emma Fellows, makes it smooth from start to finish

Quick, efficient and friendly service as always from our excellent Account Manager Emma Fellows. Emma helped us with multiple agreements for financing equipment with seamless support both dealing with us and our suppliers. Thanks Emma!

Thank you, Bret, for all your help! 👍

EMMA FELLOWS help me to complete loan application process and I have excellent experience with her fast,friendly and professional service.

Look into their reviews you can clearly see so many are paid for, general reviews dropping names and not really about anything. The only real reviews are the bad ones with real life experience with this company

Avoid this company at all cost, working with them will make you miserable, i am no longer trading and putting my company into liquidation which is incredibly stressful and i am being threatened with legal action, I am not sure what they want from me as i no longer have any assets or personal funds and i am struggling to make ends meet, and they still threaten me.

They are scamming little b*tches and they need to sort it out they’re a complete scam.. Oliver Burk needs talking to very nasty

We have used Shire Leasing multiple times as a business and recommend them fully, the staff and account managers are a credit to the company and they always go above and beyond, the transactions have been seamless and stress free 10:10

We've been working with Oliver Burke for quite some time with multiple deals to date. He has become a trusted supplier and someone we can truly rely on to help our customers secure the best leasing option. Ollie makes the process simple and easy with full transparency keeping our customers informed and delivers with speed. I would highly recommend Ollie and Shire Leasing.

We are very happy especially with working with Emma Fellows she is great at communication and knew what service to offer us we have worked with Emma over the years and delivers every time.

Very helpful and efficient.
pleasure working with them
Emma Fellows was my contact and she was great
She helped me through the process.

The whole process was very simple and Brett ensured it went seamlessly and kept a good line of communication. Also would like to mention Alicia who kept the whole thing moving along with good communication. I fully recommend using Shire for your leasing requirements, I can’t fault them and will definitely use them again in the future.

The service I received from Emma Fellows was excellent

A good service, was quick and sorted with no promblems

I have been using Shire Leasing over a number of years for various business financial needs, and they have been excellent. Applications are fast, efficient, and Richard (my account manager) goes above and beyond. I highly recommend them for equipment leasing and business funding.
