Jane’s Story

I had been struggling with my mortgage for around four or five 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 in March having dinner, and she was also struggling with her mortgage after separating from her husband. She mentioned she had had a few meetings with MABS and couldn’t recommend them enough.

The letters stopped landing on my doormat

I then contacted MABS myself and was put in touch with a lovely lady. Even after the first meeting I felt a little of the stress easing away as MABS dealt directly with the building society on my behalf. This put an end to all the letters telling me I owed arrears dropping on my doormat, that in itself was a huge thing because the letters weren’t nice and were very upsetting to read.

After three meetings with MABS, and thanks to all their amazing work, the building society restructured my mortgage, and offered me monthly payments that I could afford, I have been paying the new amounts now for the last 2 months and can’t believe that I am now sleeping the complete night and even have money in my pocket.

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