He really took his time and explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions. On my Welcome Call, I spoke with Rosa who also took her time and explained everything.

Courteous and friendly. Royce did a great job in explaining the program and I feel confident I will be taken care of. It feels good to be on the right path to get rid of debt and begin to save money instead of hemorrhage it. Thanks for your help, looking forward to writing another glaring review at the end of my program.
