Our Client's Stories
Tara, 26

"I have found budgeting at Papakura Budgeting Service has lifted a whole weight off my shoulders. I have had such good help and advice. I will recomend this service to all my friends and family who have financial problems.."
Sue, 40
Conifer Grove
"I am very happy with the way I was treated at PBS. The first week, I was so unsure when I first arrived. But by the time I left, I knew I had made a good choice to come here. Thank you very much to the team - they have done a truly outstanding job for me and my family.."
Donna, 44
Wattle Downs
"Before I came in today, I felt like I was awaiting a death sentence. How wrong I was. Staff were kind and friendly and made me feel comfortable. You have cleared a path for me to walk on again.."
Greg + Pauline,
Papakura
"It takes a lot to change one's mind-set and finally get it right. We were the type of family that had no budget in place - money went out as fast as it came in. It has been a struggle to break a habit that has been formed over many years. We are finally working within a budget that the team at PBS has put into place, and it feels great. This has been an educational journey and I would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We now have our lives back. We could not have done this without the help of the team at Papakura Budgeting Service.."
William, 36
Takanini
"Today I felt really worried coming into see a budgeter - as it was my first time asking for help. However my adviser was so honest, and helpful, and made me feel very comfortable. I now feel like my issues are going to be resolved in the near future with this service's help.."
Nancy, 35
Drury
"My first appointment today went really well. For the first time I now know what financial position I am in. I am happy that my budgeting adviser can see that it is possible for me to get back on track and I am willing to do my best to achieve this.."
