New Life

This is a great way to get a new start on life and to be able to live without having stress for something that does not belong to you. It is also a good site for information if you have any questions about financial issues

I never thought I would have to do this!

Never did I think I would have to go bankrupt, but things happen and then health issues. Something I dreaded for so long was not as bad as I anticipated, between my lawyer and the Start Fresh Today program, it seems like a huge weight is off my shoulders.

Informative AND useful

Articles were very informative. I learned more than I really wanted to know....and all of it was useful.
Articles were easy to read and easy to understand.
Made me think twice about what I was doing.

The course is great

The course is great, found ways of saving money and having an emergency fund when hard times fall upon us. A saving plan is now in the making and is increasing every month. Had made bad decisions in the pass and will weigh future decisions on the need rather than impulse buying.

Judgy

The representative came off as very judgmental and condescending like I was a deadbeat who doesn’t pay their bills or can’t manage money.
The reason for my present situation was a series of events that lead me to my present situation starting with a lesser income job and marital separation 4 months later and Wells Fargo refusing to work with me on interest rate while holding a 780+ score then layoff due to Covid.

Please counsel your representatives that they need to check their attitudes before they pick up the phone, some situations can’t be foreseeable or avoided.
