The people we dealt with Selena and Iris were wonderful. Had lots of patience with us. We stumbled through a lot of it not being very tech savvy. Ever phone call and text were very helpful. Couldn't ask for 2 more caring people then them.

Right from the start
Right from the start, a pleasant greeting by Leo was followed by an introduction to Sands & Associates, Helen Tam. We sat and went through all my debts, Helen made a copy of my identification and proceeded to inform me of my options available. I made my choice, signed an agreement and via Skype I swore to fulfill my obligation. Within 45 days all of my creditors accepted the terms offered by Sands, & my consumer proposal was granted. Now I can breathe again. I am very grateful to Helen Tam for being both professional and kind at the same time. No Regrets, Robert
