    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Why should we have to got through an "accredited debt advisor" ? Why can't we do it on our own?

  • well i guess i know alot more than most but wont go into it today as it would take years lol.

    but i do understand the following:

    common law
    comercial law
    telecumunications act 1984
    section 40 of the administration of justic act 1970

    to name a few

    the main result is you can tell the !!!!!!s were to go in one letter and if they dont you take them to court ( never happened lol)
