I cant thank and praise Burgess Bowen highly enough, I originally spoke to Steve who explained everything to me, I was a bit doubtful at first about paying an initial arrangement fee as Ive read about so many dodgy companies and scams but I can assure you this company are different. They have taken control of all my debts and deal and speak to all my creditors on my behalf. Even when half way through my plan I was stupid enough to get myself into trouble with payday loans they were able and willing to help, and again when I missed a payment to them, it was not a problem to sort things out. My only critisism would be that the person who deals directly with me seems to change without warning, 1st it was Steve, then Claire, and now Jen. This is only a minor quibble as everyone ive ever spoken to at BB is more than helpful, this is the only reason Ive given 4 stars instead of 5. I would not hesitate to recommend BB to anyone and cannot thank them enough!

I have been with Burgess Bowen for 18 months until recently, as my debts have been cleared off & how relieved I am now that all my debts have been sorted. About 2 years ago i realised all of a sudden that my debts had become too much - it just crept up on me to be honest. I contacted the citizens advice bureau and booked an appointment to see them which I had to wait 6 weeks for. Eventually when they saw me they were a great help and told me everything that i needed to do which to be honest it is fairly straight forward. What I found difficult was finding the time to managae my family & work commeitments and having the enery to respond to constant letters & phone calls from my debts. I shopped around on the interent and came aross Burgess Bowen, they gave me good advice from the start, I knew there were fees involved which were made clear from the start but for me it was worth it as they did all the leg work for me and when I got the occasionaly scary letter they were just one phone call away where as when i had a query doing it myself it took nearly 6 weeks to just get some feedback from the Citiozens advice bureau. I recently came into an inheritance and whist they have been brilliant managing my debts they have been even better negotiating full and finals with my creditors. They have been fantastic and I would not hesitate to recommed to anyone in debt like i was.

I made an application for a loan a few months back to consolidate all my debts, unfortunately i wasnt able to get one but I ended up speaking with Burgess Bowen and I literally feel like they've saved my financial bacon! I jus make one monthly payment to them now, my debts have finally stopped bombarding me but i still get my monthly statements from them and when i do get concerned they are just one call away. My sister has come unstuck with her monies recently and they are just in the process of getting arrangements in place with her creditors. They are very friendly, never sounded like I was being judged and always just a call away if i ever need them.

What a mess these guys have left me in! 6 months i have paid these £217. My creditors are still contacting me and haven't recieved a penny. They never told me their fees and implied there wasnt any. They also said they were a government agency and could wipe off my debts. My debts are actually larger than when i started. Companies can offer the service for cheaper as well. I am left trying to sort these out myself and their customer service skill were dreadful. Thanks guys. Not!

I tried dealing with all my creditors on my own and it was just a nightmare, all my debts just kept piling on more charges onto my accounts and it was just a never ending black cloud hanging over my head. Burgess Bowen now manage all my debts for me, but even better the interest on all my accounts has been frozen since they took over so at least i'm paying towards clearing my debt rather than just paying the interest every month. Claire manages my accounts and shes is great with me too.

I originally spoke with Stephen who completed a full financial assessment of my current financial position. He literally went through all my outgoings, even down to how much i spend per week on pet food! It was a very thorough but worthwhile process as I was able to mutually agree with Stephen a way forward out of my complicated debt issue. The amount of interest i was paying before starting the debt management plan was horrendous. Since starting the debt management plan Claire who is my ongoing point of contact has got all my interest frozen on my debts so most of what I pay each month is coming off my debt amount. I do have to pay an ongoing monthly fee for this service but in my opinion its massively worth while as it's substantially less than the amount of interest i was paying & the ongoing support i get from claire is fantastic. Thank You Burgess Bowen team!
