Operating policy

We at Personal Guarantees recognise the need to ensure that the people who are in trouble with a personal guarantee are normally dealing with an enormous amount of stress.

In this regard, we have an obligation to be as cost effective as possible, as the last thing that most people need is more financial uncertainty.

That is why we only charge a monthly fixed fee, so the people we work with know exactly what they will be paying.
