Report
Over the last few years I have had a great burden lifted from my shoulders. The loss of my business and the fall out around it was extremely stressful, I didn't really know what to do for the best, for me, my family and my home. After a discussion with Phil, he and Harry set to work to help me through the mine field as it felt to me of winding up my business and sorting out my personal situation as well. Within days the phone calls, letters & emails stopped, they had taken control of my situation and those that did try to contact me, a simple call or email to Phil or Harry was all that was needed

Report
When we first came to Oakdale, we were in a mess with debts from a company that had gone into receivership which we could not afford to pay. We were met by Phil Clark who provided a calm and measured approach to the issue, and we soon agreed a strategy going forward to get it cleared. He negotiated on our behalf, and we were very pleased with the end result. That is now all behind us, and so would recommend the firm to anyone else in financial difficulty. The more hands-on approach compared to some of the large operators certainly suited us.

After two years with a well-known Liverpool solicitor, trying to sort out my problem. Stewart & Phill at Oakdale were a breath of fresh air. Sorting my problem out in a fraction of the time it took my solicitor to fail miserably! I was kept in the loop with almost daily updates. A whelm of knowledge & Professionalism is the best way I can describe Oakdale. I would like to thank them unreservedly, for getting me out of a very large black hole.

When I was introduced to phil and harry at oakdale I honestly thought just another company who was going to promise me the earth to sort out all my financial problems, yet take the money and run , and during those dark days myself and family went through some torrid times but gradually each week he unravelled all my financial woes and dealt with each problem one at a time professionally and with genuine feelings . as each week went by the light at the end of the tunnel got brighter and in the end we reached it together and myself and family can now move forward in to the future with a clear view
