Unfair

Not even 1 star!!!!

You guys are not attending to the removal of my debt review label and flag. I did not even apply for it

I am really fed up with you not helping and always having some other reason for flagging me for a 2nd time and not resolving this issue

Uncertainty regarding payment Break

Mushfieka is a great consultant , and her help telephonically regarding the 3month break is much appreciated but still not 100% clear or understandable.
Does the 3month break mean that after the break our account will then be extented with only 3months more on payment or are we getting an all new Debit Order.

As per the insurance , if my claim gets approved , only the crediters on my ID number will be paid for upto 12months , meaning that most my crediters will be settled , does our Debit Order amount change then ?

Please advise
