THE GREAT BANK hardship SURVEY


When everything goes well and you are on the +Plus side of the balance sheet, you hardly hear from the banks and finance companies that you deal with.
And in an ideal world there are no natural disasters, no droughts, floods and no-one ever gets sick.

We Know however this is not always the case, and with some creditors using more harsh collection methods, we have decided to run a survey to see what consumers think.

note; this survey is a consumer survey, this does not necessarily reflect the opinions of nzdebt.net, or the advertisers on this site.
Your IP address 54.196.26.1 will be recorded and compared against a list of submitters to ensure we only receive one submission per household.
We reserve the right to delete or reject your response.
