GREAT COMPANY HELPFUL UNDERSTANDING STAFF
PEACE OF MIND - Trust in the company - knowing if a problem arises or your situation changes - you can call and talk too them.
EXAMPLE - eighteen months ago I was quite unwell, I was bitten by a spider (FALSE WIDOW) - because of poison had to amputate my finger ( still not 100%).
My point being I was able to speak to someone who was very understanding - I am 79 .

Was an excellent service, communication have become poor.
I have been with Fresh Start for many years and have found all of their services to be first-class.
My experience would have been five stars if it were not for the bad communication experience I had for the first time this year. It appears that sending information between different departments or staff has become a problem, in that documents sent by me via email were lost, and I had to keep sending them several times.
If communications improve, I would give Fresh Start five stars, and what the Company really deserves.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest feedback, and for being with us for many years. We truly value your continued trust and support.
We're really pleased to hear that you’ve found our service to be first-class overall, but we’re genuinely sorry to learn about the communication issues you've recently experienced. That’s certainly not the level of service we aim to deliver, and we completely understand how frustrating it must have been to resend your documents multiple times.
We take your comments seriously and will be reviewing the internal process to ensure communication between teams is smoother and more reliable moving forward.
Thank you again for your loyalty and for taking the time to let us know. It’s feedback like this that helps us improve. We hope to earn that fifth star from you very soon!
