Excellent service

The service I received was excellent. I have mental health issues and struggle to take information in . I told the staff on the phone this and he spent a lot of time helping me to understand everything and repeating things and checking I was able to take it all in. The service I received has helped me to sort out my debts and has taken all the worry away. All my finances have been sorted in a simple way that I didn’t even know about

Fresh start at a new life.

Very helpful and kind. Most of all very understanding and took the time to understand my situation. Gave me all the different avenues I could take with all the pros and cons until we found the best suited for my situation. I cannot believe all the extra help and advice I got from them. Very professional. I have long covid and with chronic fatigue and pain from a previous condition. On one of our booked appointments I was heading into a fatigue crash and the lady instantly rebooked our telephone appointment so I could further rest. I am so grateful for the help and support they have provided.

I was very impressed by how your advisor spoke and talked me through the whole process how she explained everything to me in great detail and how the process works and what they will do there end to set everything up and that they would be contacting my debtors instead of me I was throughly explained everything I detail as to what the process will be overall I cannot fault your adviser in how she handled everything
