Freeman Jones

[stdomingo]

I have successfully completed my IVA this year through Freeman Jones & just want to say what a fantastic company they are. From the moment I hesitantly made that first phonecall in what seems like another life now I have received nothing short of outstanding, understanding, professional care. Every member of staff at every level has been excellent & I highly rate this company. My advice to anyone considering an IVA is to go with FJ- make it your priority to pay them each month above and beyond all else, be honest (if you get extra bonus, tell them, otherwise you just create problems for yourself), DO NOT even think about getting credit with anyone whilst in your IVA, and ignore all those PPI adverts. It takes effort & it is a long chunk of your life but there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel. Once again, I highly recommend FJ, they have been outstanding, and now I'm looking forward to a positive (debt-free) future, largely thanks to them.

Hi

Well done on completing, I too was with FJ and apart from never speaking to the same person twice hence always have to repeat everything at least 3 times before getting answer and not being fully informed about the impact the IVA would have on things like work etc did not receive a bad service overall, On the plus side can honestly say when we were going through our F&F the service we received from Sarah & Samantha was second to none, but I would recommend anybody thinking of taking out an IVA do your research, look into every company (look what happened to PJG clients)it can be a positive thing when there is no way out. There is light at the end of the tunnel and for the first time in over 20 years we are debt free and it feels great!

Hi longslog101

We wanted to keep IVA secret, no other reason than the shame, my job entails me having access to company bank account, to make payments etc when our payments system needed upgrading we were asked to submit new paperwork for credit checks to be carried out, as the main creditor in our IVA was the same bank as the company I never filled out the paperwork but fortunately this didn't impact on my access to account, If you work in any area which involves dealing with finance you have to declare this, also some employers credit check new employees so if you are thinking of changing job during the next 6 years this may be of interest to you. Good luck on your journey.
