Below are some testimonials of people who found MABS helpful.
"I feel very motivated after reading your site today for the first time. Even though I have a huge debt (25,000 EUR and I'm 25 years old). I stopped spending a few months ago and am very ready to deal with the debt, but I didn't know how until now."
"I always refer to this site when things are just about to get out of hand financially. I always get very good tips from it on how to manage my money a lot better. We're married with three small children and a huge mortgage, as well as a few other bills that I'd rather not have."
Praise from Terry Prone, Commuincations Clinic, in relation to the People in Need Awards
"The second body deserving an award are MABS. The Money, Advice and Budgeting Service. I’ve come across countless stories of couples frozen in terror over their mortgages, their negative equity, their lost jobs, school uniform costs and that simple daily challenge called survival, who have had sad sense made of their situation by MABS, who have also gone to bat for them with banks to find ways to make bankruptcy less of an option. When we talk about people being under pressure as a result of the economic meltdown, we never include mention of the people who work for MABS, who serve a function somewhere between financial social worker and psychologist, and the nature of whose work means that all day, every day, they face one distraught individual or family after another. Most of us, getting up on a Monday morning, have reservations about the week ahead. The MABS people must have dragged themselves out of the scratcher this morning with a justified sense of impending misery. Or maybe not. Maybe they know how important each of them is. Maybe they understand that circumstances have given them and their role an unprecedented significance in the lives of others. "
