What Debt Sage Clients Say...
We’ve helped many consumers improve their financial situation over recent years. Here are some of their stories.
My business was struggling and could not meet my debt commitments every month. What made me furious was the fact that l was paying credit life insurance for the loans that I had taken. I was given 400 reasons why they could not pay off the loans as l was self-employed. I wondered why this credit provider made me pay for credit life insurance in the first place. Debt Sage fought for me tooth and nail and l was reimbursed all the payments that l had made for credit life insurance which made a huge difference in my finances. More importantly, I'm on my way to become debt-free. Thank you, Debt Sage.

I want to thank Lynn at Debt Sage for helping me on my journey to become debt-free. I was left deep in debt because of divorce. My ex-husband did not pay off the debts we had accumulated together after the divorce settlement as he was supposed to. I had to pay for the bond as well as look after my children. This was very difficult for me since the maintenance payout was not being paid at all. Not only was the journey challenging but Lynn from Debt Sage’s hands-on approach was invaluable. She has a calm and logical method of handling things that truly connected with me. I can’t speak highly enough of Debt Sage.
