Money Matters
Paul – how Bumper helped a single dad
Paul's story
Meet Paul, a dedicated single father of three energetic primary school-aged children. As the sole breadwinner, Paul has always had to budget carefully each month to keep up with the bills and ensure his kids have everything they need.
Life as a single parent is challenging, but Paul has managed to juggle his responsibilities with resilience and a positive attitude.
However, life threw Paul a curveball when he was hit with a series of unexpected, large bills.
When Paul's car ran over a pot hole and resulted in a cracked wheel he knew it wouldn't pass its MOT without a replacement.
Paul worried over what he was going to do next, as his careful budgeting didn't have any wiggle room for a large car repair bill.
How Bumper Helped
Luckily his local garage offered Bumper as a service, interest-free repair finance with the option to spread the payments over 3, 6 or 9 months.

Thanks to Bumper’s support, Paul was able to breathe easier, knowing he could
meet his financial obligations without compromising his family’s well-being.
