It was wonderful to hear from Peter, one of our Barking Debt Free Advice clients, at our town hall meeting at Toynbee Hall yesterday. He shared how our services and debt advisor have helped him overcome his financial challenges. “It was unbelievable. Shabana (Debt Advisor) was brilliant. She helped me with my debt so quickly that I was surprised.”
