No-one wants to enter into an IVA

No-one wants to enter into an IVA, but certain life circumstances, unfortunately force you to. I can honestly say, from start to finish FSS have been brilliant, very understanding and very polite, you're not spoken to in any rude manner at all. Remember, it's a long journey and FSS are there to help. You'll be surprised how quick the 5 years comes around, and here I am now with mine completed. A massive thank you to all those at FSS who assisted me through the last 5 years.

Severe issues with internal communications

While this company have helped us massively in a time of need, they have made the process incredibly stressful throughout. We just finished our IVA today but the last 4 years have been incredibly overwhelming, specifically when dealing with FSS.

We paid off early and customer service teams don't seem to be informed on how to deal with these situations appropriately. Every time we mentioned it, we would get read some scripted response which dismissed us and said we still had until X date.

For our final payment, we had to ring up and verify because contrary to what we were told, there was no communication from FSS themselves. They gave us a smaller figure than our usual monthly amount and told us there was nothing else for us to do, only to continue to take the full amount any way.

When we called to chase this, the lady we spoke to had no idea of this call and instead informed us we had a 12 month extension!

There's a severe lack of internal communication which needs to be addressed. All it does is make an already stressfull experience even more so.
