Holiday Period

The first thing we will look to do together, after you have engaged us, is to clear some space between you and your Creditors.

This is where we roll up our sleeves and implement the plan we’ve created together. It is at this point that Elliot Johnson will negotiate with your creditors on your behalf to get you the best possible deal on any outstanding liabilities.
