Review for Debt Rescue
Rating: ★★★★★ (10/10)
I cannot recommend Lornah from Debt Rescue highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been extremely quick to help and clarify any questions I had. No matter when I need assistance, she is always on call and incredibly fast to reply, making sure I feel supported every step of the way.
The service provided is 100%—a true 10 out of 10. If you are seeking help in this area, Lornah is the person to go to. I would recommend Debt Rescue to anyone who needs help because that is exactly what they do: they help people.
There is absolutely no need to feel any shame; it is so much better to have the help you need than to go without it. If you're looking for a team that genuinely cares and acts fast, this is it!

Customer service experiences with Shammie Moonsamy
I've been a client for quite some time now, and during this time I met a wonderful lady by the name of Shammie Moonsamy. I've had numerous queries via email, or telephonic that I would address to Shammie, and she never hesitated to assist me, even if it did not fall within her ambit. She was quick in her responses, always very efficient. She would follow up regularly, and respond to emails in a very professional manner. She always had a very friendly disposition. Very pleasant, always without a doubt willing to assist and go the extra mile for me. Her attention to customer service was excellent. Thank you for everything you did for me Shammie. It was highly appreciated.
