Joan’s story

Everything was going well for Joan until she had to take a huge pay cut at work. This put huge stress and strain on her.  By contacting us, she was able negotiate with her lender and change her mortgage repayments to a more manageable amount. Since then, life has been easier. 

In her own words

I had been struggling with my mortgage for around 4/5 years after taking a huge pay cut at work. To say I was stressed was an understatement. I couldn’t remember the last time I slept properly or was really relaxed and happy. 

I was at a friend’s house having dinner, and she was also struggling with her mortgage after separating from her husband. She mentioned that she’d had a few meetings with MABS and couldn’t recommend them enough. 

I then contacted MABS myself and was put in touch with a lovely lady – Mary. It was on the phone the first couple of times, as I needed to get copies of a few things, such as bank statements, mortgage statements and all the correspondence from my lender. 

When I met MABS in person, even after the first meeting, I felt a lot of the stress easing away as MABS dealt directly with the bank on my behalf. This put an end to all the letters telling me I owed arrears dropping on my door mat. That in itself was a huge thing because the letters weren’t nice and were very upsetting to read. 

After 3 meetings with MABS, and thanks to all their amazing work, the bank restructured my mortgage, and offered me monthly payments that I could afford. I have been paying the new amounts now for the last few months and can’t believe that I am now sleeping the complete night and even have money in my pocket for things for the kids and stuff. 

I really can’t thank MABS enough for their amazing work, they are professional and compassionate and they do an amazing job.
