    Payplan seem to have less of a backlog, I know people who called CCCS at the same time as I called payplan. They're still waiting for their appointments whilst I've had mine and my IVA is being set up. Both equally good though from what I've heard.
  • with payplan at the moment and they seem to have a better agreement with major lenders, a lot do support them so your offer more likely to be accepted. went with CCCS initially and they ended me up with a charging order. Basically they offered Northern Rock the lowest amount on the highest debt because was a loan over a long period of time - because NR didnt like seing their name at bottom of list with highest debt tehy took court action - CCCS said ignore them as nothing they could do but ended me up with CCJ and charging order - thanks CCCS!!! Payplan told me they should have pro rated against debt size not length of agreement.
