Provided hope during a very dark time

When I reached out to PayPlan and then received a phone call back, that first person I spoke to was so perfectly matched for what I needed on that first phone call. The caller was non-judgemental, kind, patient and empathetic. They were able to listen and gather all the necessary information. They then passed me onto an advisor who could put all the information together and provide a number of viable solutions. This person, again, was perfect for what I needed. They were so up-beat and positive and also kind and warm. And it made me feel hopeful that everything was going to be okay.

I can't thank PayPlan enough for their help. It is literally changing the trajectory of my life and that of my family's.

The team were empathic and non-judgemental and were fully dedicated to making a pretty daunting process as smooth as possible. I also thought Sheryl went over and above to answer questions I had and address any of my concerns. Excellent service, I would recommend it to anyone in need of help sorting their finances.

Not impressed with the payplan website. Difficult for neurodivergent folks to navigate!

The conversation I had with the agent who called was very reassuring. But they sent a link to a website that I found difficult to comprehend. Information overload! Too much for stressed mind to take in. In every section, so much reading. I struggle with ADHD and I lack certain abilities. I'm more stressed about my debt than I was before I messed with this crap!

Disappointed

I am so disappointed. My payplan is now complete but I feel like I was not informed about things properly. Poor communication. I had to contact several creditors myself and send them the paperwork myself. They added lots of extra fees on my account for the postage but I had to do the work for them. Some of my accounts are still not closed due to their poor communication. I had several issues with communication with them when my payplan was active too. I would not recommend them.

response to your reply: I have provided you with everything that you asked for several times. Still waiting for your response regarding it. It has been a year now so all accounts should be updated. Please, call me before I complaint to the ombutsman

Hi there,

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear you’ve been left feeling disappointed, particularly after reaching such an important milestone.

It can take creditors up to three months to update their systems and close accounts fully – and some standard letters, such as arrears notices, may still be issued during that time due to legal requirements.

When you contacted us about continued creditor contact, we asked for specific account details so we could follow up on your behalf. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive the information needed to progress this. We also clarified that certain types of debt, such as secured loans, fall outside of your plan and are managed separately by the lender.

We’re still here to help and a member of the team will be reaching out directly to offer support and discuss anything else you might need.

Kind regards,
Kanya

response to updated feedback:
Hi there,

Thank you for sending over the additional information – I can confirm we’ve received it safely.

We did try to give you a call, but unfortunately weren’t able to get through. Is there a preferred time that you’d like us to call that would be more convenient for you?

Thank you again for your patience. We’re committed to resolving this as quickly and thoroughly as possible.

Kind regards,

From the start the experience with Pay Plan was extremely positive. After a recently family situation, I was offered guidance and advice from Karly which was invaluable. Harriet later offered support and went above and beyond to get the help I needed. I am very grateful and would recommend PayPlan to anyone who is on the fence.

You have a listening friend with PayPal…

They promised to call in order to take through the process and they did as they promised as well as on time. They explained what they do and the process, give me the available options, each with it's merits, pros and cons.

They were very clear and straight to the point, very helpful and efficient with all the information and allowed me to ask questions in every stage, gave me time to think about it and the whole process was simple with efficiency. I'd recommend it to anyone struggling with worries and not knowing how to go about it. They could see my struggles through my lenses...or it felt like and made me feel comfortable without being unfairly judged and made me feel ok and had some good night sleep in a long while after that without worrying about threatening phone calls and demand notices.
