A Little Bit of Background
And why the power of pivotal moments change your life for the better
Where did we begin...?
Hi there, and thanks for stopping by. I'm Trish, Founder of Repossession Rescue.
Let me tell you how we got started. More importantly, why.
Back in the 1990’s I looked like I had it all. A perfect home. New baby. Family life. Great job as Nurse Manager in the NHS. But behind closed doors my mental health was suffering, my relationship was crumbling and my personal finances were shot to bits.
When my marriage ended, the continual strain of trying to keep going and financial problems deepened. I had to move out of my home and ended up renting. Even then, my constant struggle with money and feeling useless as a mum and a nurse responsible for staff was overwhelming.
On a night when it became too much to bear, I tried to kill myself. It felt like a solution at the time when all else felt dark and hopeless. Shocking though it was, instead of the end, this event proved to be a pivotal moment in my life. One which would take me to a whole new level of understanding and empathy for money and mental health.

It took me over 10 years to rebuild my life and a lot of soul searching.
I left the NHS and became involved in property. But I've never forgotten where I came from or how close I came to letting money worries define and destroy me. Your life is worth so much more. I'm living proof!
I swore when I got the chance, I'd help people just like me. And that's why I set up Repossession Rescue.
There are great things being done by charities and other groups to help people in debt. I'm proud to be associated with a number of them.
But I wanted to go further.
So now, I advise and support people just like me. I know there is life after debt, but when you're in it, you can't always see the way out.
I also educate property professionals to help people in distress. I advise lenders, organisations and institutions on how to understand the unique needs you have when you're feeling afraid and unsure with money and mental health.

I've learnt a lot since those early days when I was at my lowest. I know from experience, property people are amongst the most generous and creative folks around. I know they can come up with solutions to lots of property problems. And I know many have faced the same issues as me. So I want to help harness that as a force for good in the world.
With the right information we can literally change lives.
So many people want and need help. But they need to know who to trust.
With Repossession Rescue we've created a safe place for homeowners and struggling business owners and investors who need help. There is no judgement, just understanding.
You can be part of this huge change. Firstly, by joining our Foundation Programme which teaches you how to help people.
You can also get involved in our mission to create an ethical fund to help people move on and retain their dignity.
And if you're ready to really commit to making a difference, you can become a member of our growing national network, dedicated to helping people who need a solution.
I want to create maximum impact, but I need your help.
So I've created a number of ways you can get involved.
