OUR STORY
How It All Started
Stacy Notley
President and CEO
THE MANNING GROUP
Our Approach to Credit & Debt Management
Credit problems are sometimes unavoidable. Life events, such as job loss, economic downturns, illness, identity theft, accidents, and other circumstances, some of which are uncontrollable, can have a devastating effect.
We know that there’s no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” approach. The “free” quick-fix ads you may have seen simply aren’t real. To achieve the best and long-lasting results, it takes a concerted effort and an individualized plan.
We do not address just the “low-hanging fruit” of negative items on a credit report such as collections, charge-offs, late payments, etc. We do an exhaustive review of your tri-bureau credit report to identify every single item to be aggressively and persistently pursued, layer by layer.
DEDICATED APPROACH
Our Personal Service
We believe in personal service. We have a group of dedicated team members who familiarize themselves with your situation and your needs. We do not have a call centre – when you call with questions about the progress of your plan you will speak directly with one of the team members.
We believe in education. Our Comedy Credit Clinic is a light-hearted look at some serious issues such as strategies for lowering interest rates, how to simultaneously reduce debt and create wealth, how to negotiate with creditors and more. Stacy’s book, the critically acclaimed “Credit Solutions”, will give you the roadmap to establishing, re-establishing, and maintaining your person credit.
We know that credit problems are not created overnight and only the steadfast implementation of a comprehensive plan of action can remediate them. Re-establishment of your credit and reduction of your debt load can take some time, and we will be with you every step of the way.

Consumer Credit Counseling Services Comparison
“The majority of debt elimination and credit repair companies attract clients through the promise of impossible results. Of these companies, some will, in fact, help you achieve a short-term, marginal improvement in your credit rating. Even fewer will remain in your corner until the job is done, but only for a disproportionate fee. You don’t get into debt and credit problems overnight, and there is no one-size-fits all solution. It takes a concerted effort and individualized plan to do it right, and that’s exactly what we do. Simply put, we have very little competition in the industry – very few financial repair companies have been around as long as we have, and none can compare to our caliber of service or client success rate. We’re bonded, licensed, and provide custom-made solutions to help you get back on track. We do what we say we’re going to do, and stick with you until the job is done.”
