They aren't allowed to name them yet - I just saw CAB on BBC news
I guess google debt management and see which ones look like CCCS or CAB websites and it will probably be fairly obvious, or those that seem to say they are free or govt backed but then in any info about their company the info doesn't tie up£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)

I agree, it makes interesting reading. !.. Thank goodness for this site. It has been, and continues to be my lifeline. I am dealing with my debts and also now the proud owner of a savings account, albeit a very small savings account.
