Original review Aug 03, 2021
I wasn't listened to correctly, they went ahead against my instructions (even though they never actually represented me) and I'm now in the worst financial situation I've ever been in. It's taken almost a year to get this sorted, 5 phone calls later with no help, it took a complaint letter addressed to the Australian Consumer Commission before I was assisted. A couple of staff there did help me in the end, the most were rude and unhelpful

Get the facts right
I’m sick and tired of reading all this BS on here so for the record if you see Fox Symes your going bankrupt or into a form of bankruptcy like a part 9 debt agreement just know it and own it. And if anyone keeps saying seek advice of a bankruptcy trustee note the Trustee cannot give you advice they are independent and act for creditors not you !! Now Income , So if you are single and take home more than 56k nett after tax know that mr bankruptcy trustee is going to take 50% of every dollar you earn net ( after tax for dummies ) over 56k , too bad too sad that’s the rules. And why do this company charge $6k ? To make you bankrupt Because they don’t work for free , this is actually cheap compared to other private trustees like PKF or Grant Thornton who will want at least 15k minimum to do the same work. At the end of the day if you have no assets go bankrupt through AFSA simple easy and no cost to you because it’s the government. On another note these people saying they are going to sue Fox Symes good luck Lawyers don’t work for free and the likelihood of compensation is Zero so why the *** would you waste money you don’t have ?

Feeling ripped off
I was being harassed by a creditor over a credit card $7k (ex's debt :-( Rang Fox Symes and they were very smooth talking. Was talked into adding another $3k store card to the debt. Signed up for fortnightly payments - which I have only just realised add up to the total of $18K!!! And I find out I've signed a Debt Agreement which means my name is mud in credit rating terms. None of this was explained by the very professional lady I spoke to. At the time I was under pressure to do anything to get rid of the scary creditor. This has been a major learning curve for me. I really wish I could get out of this situation!!

RUINED MY LIFE
Looking back at it now and how the sweet talking guy from fox symes push on for me to sign up for this Part 9 debt agreement. i was really just throwing away 5 years of my life. A bit of a back story I was expecting my first child and looking at seeing what responsible thing i could do having made some really stupid financial things prior! I called Fox Symes after doing some research. Got onto a guy who hammered on about how the Part IX was the best thing i could do for my family. My debt was about 6k. I remember him calling me after sending me the forms pushing for me to sign as i told him I was still looking at it all. I remember looking all the fees they charged and how my first 2-3 months is just paying off stupid fees before my debt really got down. Fast track 10 months, I called it quits and told them to go jump. But look at me now father of 1 with a credit score of 200 and that stupid part IX sitting for another 3 years!! Dont do it. Call your creditors and negotiate, heck just pay them what you can!

Very Satisfied
I was in over my head as a result of a bad divorce and Fox Symes assisted in a very professional manner. They reduced my debt by about 25% and we now have a manageable payment plan. It might mean another 3 years of not being able to save heaps, but we have got back on track. Even assisted when one of the parties to the agreement tried to back door us to repay one of the debts under the agreement. Could not be happier, in my case. Would recommend anyone who has a problem similar to what I had get in touch with them, discuss your problem and at least explore the options that they can provide.

An absolutely amazing experience with transparency all the way
Last year, I ended up in a very stressful financial situation and needed to find a way to help relieve my stress. Before reaching out to Fox Symes, I already researched the different options I had. I had $58k in debt, all accumulating interest and I was struggling with the repayments on the multiple sources of credit I had. Debt consolidation was not an option because my credit rating was poor and I had no assets to secure a loan of that size. The two options I had was either a debt agreement (Part 9) or bankruptcy. I already knew I wanted to enter a Part 9 and was well aware of what that meant for my credit file and also the inability for me to apply for credit while in this agreement. Before I got in touch with Fox Symes I was feeling ashamed of being in this financial situation and was scared to make the first phone call. However, every step of the way, the people I dealt with at Fox Symes were amazing and did not make me feel ashamed to be in that financial position. They outlined my options, which were exactly the options I knew I had, and they were open and honest about the repercussions of each option I had available to me. They did not persuade me to take one option over another and left the decision entirely up to me. Once I made my decision, they were extremely fast with drawing up the contractual documentation to propose to my creditors, which was agreed upon and now I have a manageable amount to pay. With my debt agreement, I reduced my overall debt from $58k (which would have kept growing due to interest) to $48k with no interest. Part of my $48k debt does indeed include an administration fee which goes to Fox Symes, but this fee is transparent and is outlined in the contractual documentation. I am more than happy to pay this fee considering the amount of money this debt agreement has saved me. If you are in financial hardship, I recommend you understand the options available to you, and what that option means for your financial future. The repercussions of your options are all the same, whether you use Fox Symes or an alternative debt relief company. And you should never take an option without really considering what that means for you.

Fox symes sold me a product and making thousands off a 15k debt
I webt to them for help and they didn't mention I was entering into insolvency and couldn't loan for 5 years. I am now 10k into my debt and they say if I don't pay what I am behind in they will terminate the agreement and I will have to start all over again with the creditors, and lose my 10k ive being paying over the last 4 years. *** *** AND I HATE THE FIRM - they profit 4000 already from my 15k debt where the people I owe money to only get 60 percent of every 100 cents back. WTF?? and I took my debts to them to help me consolidate them, and now I'm screwed as I'm in financial HARDSHIP and they say too bad. Also - they keep answering my calls with no SECURITY CHECK first. My mate called as a test and got my bank accts details , address and payment history with no questions asked!!!

Fox Symes - Debt Collection Review
Totally regret entering into an agreement with this company. They prey on desperate people and then charge you exorbitant amounts whilst direct debiting your account with higher amounts than specified in your agreement with no warning whatsoever. You are already going to suffer as you have to agree to be partly bankrupt and they make it worse by charging you high amounts of money that was not agreed on- so you suffer as much as you would have with your original debtors!!!! I have tried to communicate with them and they have ignored my messages. They suck and are evil. DONT DO IT!
