Anyone heard of Care debt management?

I had a letter today from a company called Care debt management saying they were part of Capquest and I had been selected to be helped!

Basically they will match my monthly payment so that the debt is paid off quicker, so if I pay £50 a month they will also pay £50 in to my account

Anyone had any dealings with them? Sounds too good to be true really

thanks

    thats because it is!!!!

    All they are in affect doing is offering you a reduced payment. Your choice i guess but nothing in this life is free and i will bet you a pound to a penny suddenly the other amount allegedly matched will materialise at a later date.

    I wouldn't trust Capquest as far as i could throw them. I would want a signed contract before i agreed to anything with them

    Please folks. this is just another way to get a 50% payment on an account that they probably bought for next to nothing and for which they probably lack legal documentation. What sort of accounts are these?
