Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Thurman Gardner.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
My story of how I got started in the credit industry is simple. I was a single black mother. Amiya, Arianna, and Ayveon deserved more than what I was giving them. I made the decision to leave a very abusive relationship I was in so I ended up back at my great grandmother’s house. The home itself I fixed enough to make it suitable for us to live in but I knew I wanted more. I got a very good job and started looking around for help to repair my credit. Well after months of looking and reaching out to different people I realized credit repair was costly! So instead of paying someone I started researching for myself. Taking financial courses and even going to sit in the bankruptcy courts. I just wanted to learn everything ai could about my credit and how to improve it to buy my kids a “home” after all they must have seen and endured from my ex, they deserved a safe place just for us. It took me six months to repair my own credit and February of 2018, I bought my first home! I truly believe new starts happen when you’re truly at “home” because six months after I purchased my home, I also met the man of my dreams. He completed everything I knew was out there. We’ve been married now four months but seem like forever. He not only loves me but also my kids and he would take his last breath before he hurt us emotionally or physically. As far as my company goes acquiring all these skills and knowledge prompt me to The A3 Credit Repair Company where you can “Put your trust in us”. So, to anyone reading this that may need some motivation please remember troubles don’t last always so get out there and get your happiness it’s waiting!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The road has not been smooth. From evictions, to repossessions, and even garnishments this road has been anything but smooth. The biggest struggles though we’re the premature birth of my second daughter Arianna and the abusive relationship I continued for years that my kids witnessed. Those were the worst times because I allowed it to go on. I was too ashamed to ask for help or to even leave just to start over. That was my worst fear though, starting over. I had already picked myself up once. I just didn’t think I had the strength to do it again.
The A3 Company – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
My business is The A3 Credit Repair Company. We specialize in helping our clients restore their credit. We offer free consultations and financial planning as well. What sets us apart from others is our hands-on method. We do all the leg work for our clients to ensure our results! We don’t expect you to know what disputing style to use or who to send what dispute too so we handle it for you.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
I personally define success by how many people you also help up. We as people often forget about others. Along my journey I’ve had the privilege of meeting some amazing people that’s helped me get to where I am. The feeling I have I want every person to experience: Do you know how peaceful I sleep knowing at least we can’t be thrown on the street again or I don’t have to wake my kids in the middle of the night to flee from an alcoholic abusive ex. We’re safe and everyone deserves to have this “success”.
