I wish I called sooner!!! Patricia was so understanding and knowledgeable. Gave me all my options and I felt no judgment. I really appreciate her guiding me in the right direction.

I never thought I would ever declare bankruptcy, after learning what I did, I am sorry I never did it sooner. The weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The staff at Grant Thornton do not judge, life is what is and they understand the struggles. There is a misinterpretation of bankruptcy, if you thought about looking into it, don’t wait any longer.

This testimonial is geared towards anyone out there who feels like they are drowning in debt whether it be by their own doing or unforeseen circumstances. Trust me I know that it is embarrassing and can be humiliating but please don’t wait years like I did to make that first call because of those feelings you may be having. If your debt is causing you stress, affecting your health and relationships with the ones you love because you’re hiding the secret of not being able to make ends meet. Pick up the phone now and make the call. The people at Grant Thornton are amazing!! There is no judgment… at all. They are caring and compassionate and really there to help you get back on track. I never got the feeling that it’s “ just them doing their job” they truly care. Please just make the call you wouldn’t believe how even after the first conversation you will feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

Thanks so much for all your help getting through this rough patch. And helping me get back on track. Henry, you were so professional and I did not feel a single moment where I was being judged, which was appreciated. (As I was so ashamed and waited so long to contact them.) The team is helping me go through a most difficult time for me, and I just wanna say thank you very much!

I have so much to say and don’t know how to fit it all in, the struggle this past year has been the weight of a thousand bricks. I felt like I had failed and maybe been greedy, not that I have ever traveled or was ever a huge shopper, it was just the way I saw things as needed. Sometimes we can’t always give just cause it’s available or accept because it’s offered, things do happen and that rainy day did come for me and I had no way out in my mind. I sat for days and nights with that heavy feeling in my chest and sick feeling in my tummy. What do I do? Who can I ask for help? Can someone give me some answers? Is there a way out of this? What have I done!
But the embarrassment, shame, and then my pride was in my way. I was backed emotionally in a corner. My home life was falling apart. I heard of GT and thought I can’t feel any lower than I do right now and made the call. When I got on the phone with Susan and heard her calmness in her voice and her first words “I will help you.” After we talk about things. You can decide what’s right for you and ask as many questions as you feel you need to. I felt I found my person and she listened like a friend only with the knowledge to truly help me. We had a wonderful conversation and I took a real breath for the first time in forever. Susan was the warmest person. I needed that. I was so nervous about my appointment with Ed and who calls me, to see if everything was ok or if I had any questions before the up and coming appointment Susan I’m sure she had lots to do other than call and check on me but she did what do they say above and beyond!
It was appointed day and I sat and watched this phone for 15min and there was the call. Ed face to face, how awful this was going to be someone looking at me thinking wow could you dig any bigger of a hole how did you think you could keep up with your debt. Then I looked at Ed and saw a happy man with a pleasant smile and as we talked I felt the compassion and this sense of understanding, not judgment. He was so kind. Kindness is something that seems so rare lately and I had been so fortunate to have this person looking at me not down on me and want to help me. I thought to myself, I don’t even deserve this I did it to myself. Our appointment left me feeling like those bricks are getting lighter and maybe it will be ok and things will get better. Yesterday I see I missed a call and whose name do I see, Susan. I was excited whether she was going to have good news or bad, how strange, I know, but she calms me and I know she’s doing everything she can to help me. I call her back and she asks how are you doing? And meant it! We talked and she proceeded to tell me that she is there for me if I need anything and questions etc… and once again answered more of the questions that I had in the back of my mind and took more weight away. I feel so blessed to have had Susan and Ed if only there were more people in this world like you both thank you.
