Lee Brunton from North Tyneside has suffered mental health problems recently and has been out of work for some time, which contributed to his problems
He was offered a job that involved travelling between garages valeting cars and required a car to do this.
Unfortunately, being unemployed Lee didn’t have access to affordable credit and the job offer was at risk unless he could obtain finance to buy a car to be able to carry out the role.
Having nowhere else to turn to Lee’s wife Dawn contacted Five Lamps and spoke with Loan Officer Symon Agnew who quickly realised that the job meant a lot to Lee and his family and how by providing finance to buy a car he would be able to get back to work, improving his own self-esteem and the wellbeing of his family.
Symon arranged for a Five Lamps low-cost affordable personal loan for Lee, which enabled him to purchase a car.
Lee said:
“Working will help improve my health even more and without the help of Five Lamps I would not have been able to this. My whole family is grateful for the help we received as it affects us all”
Five Lamps provides affordable credit to financially excluded individuals and last year provided loans to over 11,746 customers, enabling them to move away from high- interest credit.
