  • Hi
    Don't touch these people with a barge pole!! They are just out to line their pockets.

    CCCS, Payplan and CAB will do the same, if not better, for FREE, so all your money will go to the creditors as none of the above will charge you a monthly fee. Their advice is free too. Please give them a call. I can personally recommend CCCS as I have a dmp with them.

    Good luck.
    Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free :)
    Mortgage free since 2014 :)
  • just to reiterate what Deep In Debt has said....


    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE....DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!

    as already stated...CCCS are excellent, free and have no hidden agenda...the companies which are charging you for this service are lining their pockets on other peoples misery....don't let them have your cash!!!!

    good luck!!

    Thanks given for good advice, also id recommend going through these boards for help on doing an SOA (a list of all you income/outgoings), help with prioritising your debt and ways to make savings on everything from shopping to fuel bills, and make a little cashback along the way.

    As the ad goes, every little helps

    Best of luck
