Really friendly people on the phone. They all listened and didn’t judge Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Take back control

Making the first phone call was the hardest step. I was embarrassed and scared about the mess we'd got into with our finances. The call handler was friendly and reassuring and I never felt judged. Our options were explained carefully and the final decision was ours. Our DMP was created with us, taking into account the size of our family and realistic living. It's been a long road paying it but the end is in sight and we've still managed to live. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
