I’ve been with fresh start for a while…

I’ve been with fresh start for a while and I can’t fault them at all they listen to you and help with your debts and do not judge you
If you ring them up they are so friendly towards you and help you with your problem you don’t have to go into much detail
When it’s time for your review they explain every step and go through with everything to make sure your happy and can afford the payment but even after a while if things change you can ring and once again no judgement on you
Yes you have to pay a fee but with all the work they do I don’t mind paying it
So if your struggling with debt please ring them and they will help you
