in Debt-free wannabe
Hi peeps! :D

I thought this might be a good idea. :idea:

If you have any expert knowledge in a field ie, you work for debt collection agency, a debt management company, credit card company etc, and your willing to offer your expertise then maybe you'd like to add what field you can offer help in! :confused:

Now obviously this information would be advice only and no-one would be accountable for anyone acting on information given but it would be great if we could point people who have inside knowledge if you like, to an expert.

Unfortunately I can't offer much apart from my good looks and great sense of humour but I'm sure there are people out there who can other something valuable and of use! ;):p

    I'm a business analyst/commercial accountant so strategy/business performance/management accounts/product costing/profitability analysis etc. I used to be a pretty good waitress and will happily pass on silver service skills to those in need (sure that will be very useful!). Probably more useful I'm an Excel techie so if anybody wants help with spreadsheets..

    Happy to help with any/all of the above.

    Great idea SS!

    Specialist in photography at your service :o :rotfl: Now won't that be super helpful :rolleyes:

    I can design websites (very basic ones) and do most things computer/camera/photography related.

    I'm also into writing (hence much waffling on here :rotfl: ) so if anybody needs anything proof-reading I'd be happy to oblige :D

    As for the moneysaving bit (which is, I'm guessing, what you meant...) I've got not specialist knowledge at all I'm afraid!!! :o

    Feel free to ask me stuff but I won't hold my breath I think :rotfl: :D

    OK I do have something of 'use' to offer!

    I can get access to old press cuttings should anyone need anything on a financial point of view.

    However if someone needs something for say a college course or essay you can ask but I'm not guaranteeing it as I could be swamped! ;)

    Howdy,

    I am a Support Counsellor for CCCS, We are the department that maintain DMP's, offer Bankruptcy & IVA advice, handle Courts procedures, whine at creditors and all that jazz. I am happy to offer advice to people who have a DMP or are thinking about getting one. the advice I give will be the same as I would offer any of my clients but it will be general as I won't know the whole picture (unless you tell me) and I would always advise to go through the proper channels to get to me :D
