I’m glad I called money wellness

Yes I was very happy for helping me with all my debts thank you very much

Scary at first, until they help!

They were understanding, helpful, and offered personal perception on the issues I'd got into. Everyone gets deeper into a financial mess ... because it's financials; the general public isn't educated into the mindset of how to handle money, savings, interest, and especially debt! When I contacted Money Wellness, I was told clearly what my options were, what information I needed to gather, and so on. No judgement, no criticism of what I'd done or what happened. It was "let's look at the situation and what can you - helped by us - do about it?" Make no mistake - they do not tell you what to do to get you out of a fix! What they DO do for you is figure out what fix you're in and suggest ways of sorting it all out. A human being talks to you, leads you through YOUR decision, helps and advises, lets you know what rights you have and so on. Thanks to the help of Money Wellness, a weight of worry has been taken off me!

I was in a complete panic and embarrassed about my financial crisis but the support and empathy I received from the few people I spoke to during my call really put me at ease. They explained everything in layman's term so that I could understand what they were telling me (which I found very useful). My advice is be totally transparent with during your call so they can help with all the information you can give them.
