Professionalism and high ethics
Professionalism and high ethics, caring and involved, non biased advice and realistic options...this is my latest experience with Ricky and his colleagues from Bright Start! It is life changing to finally take control over my debts, to regain long term perspective for myself and my family' s future. Ricky has been reassuring every step of the process, knowledgeable over every aspect concerning my personal circumstances. His approach is superb. He teamed up with me and helped me regain the confidence that there are solutions tailored for every individual and his actions are only in respect of that.
I can not recommend you highly enough and can only express my gratitude!
Not happy at all
My experience with Bright Start started at the end of August and here we are nearly at the end of the year with not only no resolution but also no contact from them. My last few messages via WhatsApp,although read, have gone unanswered. To begin with, it seemed hopeful . I was given some options, a couple of which, for reasons I won’t go into here, we’re not suitable for my particular situation. I had been making payment to a company and when I asked if I should stop paying I was told not until I had sent through to Bright Start relevant paperwork, statements etc. After I had done this I stopped contact but when they contacted me I told them my situation was being dealt with by a debt solution company. I told Bright Start this company was still continuing to contact me and could they please speak to them. Then I was told not until a plan was put into place. To cut a long story short, after this particular situation carried on, over a period of several weeks I was then told that Bright Start could not deal with this particular company for me and I would have to make my own resolution. They should have told me this earlier. Then I began to have to chase them up regarding other things. Weeks passed without hearing from them and they only communication I had was when they replied to my messages. “ I’ll get back to you.” “ I’ll call you tomorrow “, “ I’m on it “ was all I got. They never called back when they said they would. Eventually they stopped replying completely, even when I expressed my dissatisfaction with them. Fortunately, most of my communication with them was via WhatsApp and I’ve screenshot the entire conversation for reference so I can keep a full record of what transpired. Although there are, it appears a lot of satisfied people here who have given 5 star reviews, I can only speak from personal experience. Maybe I was just unlucky, who knows. It’s up to you whether you want to use them or not.
So glad I found this company.

Amazing company
I was referred by a family member to this company to see if they could help me, I'm so glad I made contact as the adviser I was given called Hashim went above and beyond to help me he was so nice and patient with me.

I can’t thank the company and Tony enough, I was in a terrible place and completely at rock bottom when I got in contact, Tony and the team guided me through the process, fully explaining all the options available along the way. The relief that I feel now is a testament to them and Tony in particular. I am now able to face my life with hope and a smile again! Thank you
