Michael is 53 and was struggling mightily with his finances—so much so that he had resorted to living in his car to save up money to secure housing. Michael was a hard worker and was starting a new job with a painting company, but during his employment gap, he took out a high-interest, unsecured loan so he could cover his monthly car loan payment and renew his car insurance. But even with a good job and decent pay, the one-time loan he’d signed on for was charging 40% interest every week, so instead of bailing him out of a tight spot, it was really creating an ongoing vise on his budget. Deep Well helped him pay off that predatory loan to zero out that obligation, and now Michael’s saved enough money up to get into a stable housing situation, allowing him to use his car for transportation only, not as his home.
