Illness triggers debt problem
Mr & Mrs H, Portsmouth

My partner and I began experiencing escalating debt problems when he was forced to leave work due to illness. What had previously been a small debt became a big debt problem almost overnight.

We were paying nearly £400 a month to a load of different creditors and really struggling, but fortunately a friend suggested we speak to Debt1.

We made a very easy and simple application to Debt1 and everyone we dealt with was really friendly and professional. They managed to reduce our current monthly outgoings to one affordable payment of £125. All of their service has continued to be excellent.

Now after 4 months of my debt management program I have already recommended 2 friends.
 
Debt Advice + Debt Consolidation = Regaining Control of Finances
Mr W, Merseyside

Thank you for helping me to consolidate my debts at a time when I was unable to find a way to deal with this matter myself. I couldn't see a way out at all, but now a few months later, with your help, the accounts are clear and I'm on my way to being debt free.

Your company's professionalism and help has taken a huge load off my mind and helped me get back onto an even keel. I didn't even realise how much stress I was under, but now I can sleep for the first time in years.

Whether I was dealing with your staff by phone, fax, email, or even post, they have always been more than helpful and dealt with the matter efficiently. If they said they would do something or chase someone up they always did it quickly and kept me informed at all times.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to others.
 
Recommended by a Friend
Dave, Winchester

I can't remember the last time I felt in control of my finances. I used to dread looking at my bank and credit card statements; that was until I stopped opening them at all.

It took a long while to find the courage to seek help but a friend recommended Debt1 and from the moment they answered the phone I started feeling better. They understood everything I was going through and they really know their stuff.

They found me the right debt solution, cleared it with my creditors and one week later it was in place. The interest and charges stopped dead, and at long last my debt has stopped growing! Now I'm in control of my life again and I feel great.

Growing family creates financial pressure
The C Family, Suffolk
 
When our eldest was born we couldn't have been happier. We knew money would be a bit tight but we just didn't care, we were over the moon. We started to use credit cards more and more and before we knew it, suddenly it was 6 years later and we were trying to pay off £47,000 in credit cards and a bank loan.

People offered to lend us more money but we knew the dangers, that we could lose our house, lose everything. With our monthly repayments reaching over £1,200 and the debt growing every month, we were sorely tempted as we couldn't see any kind of a way out.

Thankfully we found Debt1 online. They were so understanding, knew exactly what to say and in the end managed to negotiate £26,000 of our debt to be written off.

Our repayments reduced to just £350 a month. We were overjoyed, so relieved. We knew that in just 60 months we would be debt free. The calls from creditors stopped overnight and we still have ongoing support from Debt1 today. You've been great, thanks from the whole family.
