Irene had no real idea of how much her house cost to run. All financial matters had been taken care of by her late husband. On her own she not only had to cope emotionally but now she had to try and run her home on her own.

Irene realised quickly that she couldn’t keep her head above water and when she rang The Debt People she owed more than ¬¨¬£60,000. Quickly we were able to advise Irene that there was a way out. We negotiated her debt down to just over ¬¨¬£30,000 and all she has to do now is make one simple monthly payment to us.

Irene told us that her biggest fear was actually dealing with the people that she owed money.

“Whenever I rang the credit card companies I spoke to a different person. I had to explain my situation to them but they didn’t seem to listen. I was sure that some times they didn’t believe what I was telling them was the truth.

Then I saw an advert for The Debt People. During all the times that I dealt with them I only spoke to 2 different people. Most of the time they contacted me and they always knew what my case was about. They listened to what I had to say and advised me in simple terms. Now I know where I stand and I know that as long as I make my monthly payment Ill never have to speak to the credit card companies again”.
