Hi Michelle
We just wanted to follow up and say thank you very much for all your help earlier in the year. We are very happy with how things are going at Westpac.
You and your team have done an absolutely amazing job. At first we weren’t sure if we would be accepted to refinance because of all the unsecured debt that we had but you did all the hard work to ensure that it all went through without lots of credit checks. Now things are a lot better for us financially and we can start thinking about planning for the future.
Thanks very much
