It’s very stress free from the start

It’s very stress free from the start.
I did a IVA for 5 years and just finished it. They do little reviews but not stressful at all.
They are very helpful and nice people. The payment was low.
Obviously I recommend them if you’re in debt and can’t afford it. Very helpful.

I highly recommend FSS

I highly recommend FSS. Ive just received my completion certificate and the whole 5 year duration of my IVA with them has been faultless. My payments were reduced from £500+ to £127 per month and have had over £4k written off. Its was a relief from the start, and im happy now that I have finished. Every staff member i dealt was helpful and non-judgmental.I intend NEVER to have to use them again. 5 stars, definitely.

Thank you for helping me!

Good morning! I had a very good experience with Financial Support Systems! From the day I applied, they called me and helped me a lot! I had a little difficulty with English but they always explained until I understood! I thank them very much and whoever has difficulty paying multiple installments I advise them to apply here and Financial Support will gather them all in one place and set an installment that you can afford to pay! Thank you!

Avoid this predatory company, they are NOT there to help you!

Called looking for advice on consolidating debt during Covid, as that was the service they advertised. Instead I was HEAVILY pressured into getting an IVA, was told I'd have no chance of ever realistically paying off the debt and that this was the only option. An IVA would solve all my problems! They left me feeling like I had no choice.

Turns out that this company PROFITS from your debt and IVA payments, so totally unethical behaviour straight from the get go, as they aren't offering you unbiased financial advice, they are looking to exploit you when you are at your most vulnerable. I was also not made aware of the long term impact this would have on my credit rating, nor how much I would be charged if I wanted to pay back the amount early. I ended up inheriting money and then had to pay back an amount that far exceeded the original debt and even now, when I've been debt free for years, I still can't get a simple phone contract. All because of the damage done to my credit rating so some scumbag employee could probably get some commission out of me. Vile and unethical company, you should avoid them the same way you would avoid a mobbed up loan shark.

As on each time when I had to go…

As on each time when I had to go through my IVA annual review, FSS has always been very supportive and helped me to understand this process better.

Thank you
