    Thanks for the advice guys, I may contact CCCS tomorrow after having time to digest what my FA has said tonight.
    I must stress that I have not yet decided to go BR, however, due to the size of my debts (personal & business), it looks like the only way to go.

    I think I will hold off selling anything for the moment, until my mind is made up finally.

    I will post an SOA later on after my head has finished being battered by the FA. :rotfl:
  • seeing as the OR wont be interested in snatching a sofa or cheap car (i.e. £1000 worth) then hold till after BR, then flog em....
