Hear from those who have been through it
I was in financial trouble from a failed business and personal debts. When in debt and under pressure the world felt like it was closing and it was difficult to see light at the end of the tunnel. I was quite down about the situation I found myself in and felt it all a bit unfair. Lightside helped to immediately take pressure out of the situation and helped to lay out the options available to me. Lightside went further by talking to me about dealing with stigmas and bouncing back. I ended up being able to use the experience I went through as fuel, rather than letting it define me. Now I am proudly leading a successful business. I implore you, speak to Lightside, they are experts in this field. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

When I first got in touch, I was at my wits’ end — around £50,000 of debt and endless sleepless nights. From the very first words, I instantly knew there was someone on the other end who was going to help me, not judge me. Over six months on, I am so much happier and very much in control of my finances.
I was introduced to Lightside by a family friend. I was in financial trouble from a failed business. Every situation is unique and Lightside took the time to fully understand mine. I ended up being able to use the experience I went through as fuel, rather than letting it define me. Three years later I am proudly leading a successful business.
I was drowning in £40,000 of debt which affected every aspect of my life — I was in despair, feeling like a failure with no one to turn to. From the very first conversation, I felt Lightside had my back. The service I have received has been outstanding and I have always felt very supported.
Lightside’s calm manner, expertise and clear explanations gave us hope. They left no stone unturned — and as a result of their invaluable advice, a situation that felt impossible was resolved. I would thoroughly recommend Lightside to people suffering with debt problems, and at an earlier stage than we contacted them.
Within the space of three months I had lost my job, my marriage, and a close family member. Dealing with almost daily contact from creditors felt completely overwhelming. I believe that at a very difficult and dark time, Lightside literally saved my life.
When I started my journey with Lightside, I was heavily in debt and completely unsure how to handle the situation — including the sleepless nights. From the first meeting, my mind was put at ease. Within six years I was debt-free and with Lightside’s support I was able to get a mortgage and buy my first home.
Lightside’s recommendations opened my eyes to options I never knew existed — and with their patience, empathetic approach and clear explanations, life has returned to some form of normality. A life changer — and I don’t use that phrase lightly.
From the moment we first met, Barry immediately put my mind at rest — I knew I was in safe hands. He attended court with me, dealt with all the administration, and never once made me feel I was being a nuisance. It really was as straightforward as he said it would be. If I had known, I would have done it years ago.
Initially there were many calls and texts from one particular creditor, which I found quite distressing. Lightside was always there with reassurance and clear instructions. You are not alone — they are on your side, representing you, which takes a whole weight off your shoulders.
I recommended Lightside to a friend who was experiencing some extreme difficulties, and the response and help he received was absolutely brilliant — it got him back on track with everything. A company that goes above and beyond.
Lightside has not only solved my biggest stress in life by helping me overcome my debt — they have been an absolute lifeline in getting me back on my feet. Never once disregarded, and there whenever I had a question. If you are looking for help with any debt issues, I don’t think there is a better place.
A close relative needed help and I contacted Lightside, not knowing how to minimise the anxiety they were going through. I can’t thank them enough for the sound advice given. For most people the picture isn’t as bleak as it may seem. You just need to follow the right path.
