Positive approach

Been a member for many years, way back in 2006. Was made redundant, credit card debt and a mortgage. Single parent with a child with learning disabilities. Felt like I was truly lost, but I sort advice from this wonderful company who assisted me with a loan to pay off my debts and keep a roof over my head. Learnt the hard way due to their support with budgeting the finances I had coming in, I made through and have not looked back. Thank you for giving and helping me keep my sanity.
