My Experience With Money Wellness.

Hi, I thought the service was good, eventually. I say that because I had difficulty navigating the online questions and had to get help from my local CAB, who were extremely helpful. Once this was sorted, I felt relieved and could breath easier. O also found having to resubmit the individual debts and who they originated with quite unexpected. This is something I thought would have been done at the outset, maybe even with Step Change. I was, however able to do as asked due to having kept the original written notes. I thank you for your efficiency once all the details were collected, and i sincerely hope never to be in this unfortunate predicament again. Kind regards, L. Wilkie.
