In Business, You're Not Alone

Until I spoke to Citizens Advice initially, and was referred, I never knew this service existed. No reason to ever search for it. Of course, through my business, I ended up in a bit of a pickle. I did use the chat service 3 times, not because I wasn't given proper advice, but because I was afraid to follow the particular advice. Eventually I made a phone call and once I was connected to an advisor, I had an absolutely amazing experience. I received genuine empathy, and the advice was amazing and I felt so reassured. You can tell these people are not reading from a script. I know I will be in touch with BDL in the future, and I will most certainly recommend the service to my business contacts.

I have to say I was extremely impressed with the depth of information and advice I was given by the amazing human that is Mark! I was anxious and extremely stressed when we initially spoke and he was calm, kind and patient with me. The fact that he kept reassuring me through the 1 hour call made me feel like someone actually understood my current situation and actually had a solution. His advice and follow-up email was very detailed and I am so grateful. Thank you Mark! The only down side is that I couldn't get intouch with anyone for a follow-up question a few days later. I was on hold for 5 days up to 2 hrs max. Aside from this the initial process was worth the 1 hour wait on hold and 1 hour advice time. I highly recommend this service.

You need these people in your corner!

It took a while to get to speak to the right person, but once I did they were brilliant and helped me find a long term solution to deal with my creditors - worth taking the time to speak to the right person. Thank you very much for your help, Marie! :-)

Clear advice & information in one phone call.

The advice & information I got in a phone call with the helpline was great. Instead of continuing to be swamped by a messy series of events I was hugely relieved when the advice focussed on a clear picture of what to do next.
