Working with trufe. John & Sarah were able to reduce their monthly outgoings by over £200, add significant value to their house and get out of an endless cycle of credit card debt.
Life can catch up with you sometimes. Sarah and John had wanted to have their windows and doors replaced and add a conservatory to their house for quite some time, but after an illness in the family and have had to look after Sarah’s mum for a few months John and his wife Sarah were struggling financially.
Sarah was forced to take quite a lot of time out from work so pressure had been building up for a while, stress was really beginning to cause arguments, their relationship was suffering and so were the kids and everything was getting too much.
Sarah said “one of the things I felt most guilty about was cutting back on days out and kids clubs, it’s just not fair on them - but I suppose it’s just a fact of life when you get to our time of life right? We’d given up even thinking about getting the new conservatory, but that’s the least of our worries.”
When Sarah first contacted trufe. her story wasn’t untypical, living in the South of England their home was valued at £500,000 with a mortgage of £335,000 which meant a monthly commitment of £1,350 a month.

The issues they had were the debts which had built up on 3 credit cards and another existing loan they’d taken out for £60,000 against the house 5 years previously, put these two payments together and they were paying out a huge amount of £1,289 a month on top of their mortgage.
“Bottom line for us was we needed certainty and to be able to see light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve always tried to stay away from using credit cards” said John.
“By consolidating our debts with trufe. it's definitely taken the pressure off for sure, and now Sarah is a lot happier, I’m feeling much more positive. We’ve been able to get the conservatory, windows and doors plus had some cash put aside. The work we've done has paid off as the house is worth much more now and our outgoings have gone down by at least £200 a month”.
By consolidating their debts with trufe. John & Sarah had saved £160 a month, borrowed a further £40,000 for home improvements and got out of the endless cycle of credit card debt - the result was manageable monthly payments, reduced stress and added value to their property.
