    Have you tried the normal places for a mortgage such as Banks and Building Society's?

    Thanks for replying but i didn't ask about where to get a Mortgage so your answer is totally irrelevant and i feel as if you are insinuating that i am slightly stupid and not able to use my own common sense. I'm simply asking if any members here have had any experiance with a company called "Albion Finance".
    If no-one is able to answer could someone suggest a forum that might be able to help.

    If you can give a bit more information about the service that you are looking for from Albion then people might be in a better position to answer your question.

    Manners cost nothing on the boards and a reply like yours will put the backs up of many people who genuinely want to help people.

    Hello scraggles, I am very sorry that my reply upset you.
    I just looked on their web site and all I could see they were selling was mortgages. Sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

    Sorry if i offended you or anyone. My reply was a bit knee jerk wasn't it :-/.
    I just get a bit tired of the many forums where members answer just "No" or "Yes" or something random just so to get their "Post Count" up..

    Just to clarify, Albion finance contacted me to offer their services to consolidate my debts and reduce my overall debt by finding errors in loans agreements given to me so they might be able to significantly reduce it or clear it totally by taking the companies to court..

    avoid it avoid it! You can do it all yourself by following the advice on here, there's a thread started by Stapeley (let's all ask for our CCA's or something similar) which tells you how to do it.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Hi scraggles

    Have a read of this thread

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1733037

    Be even more cautious if they are offerign to buy you debt. The OFt has issued warning about both types of companies.

    If you have consumer credit which is badly documented or has no documentation, there is loads of advice on here, for free.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    Thank you for all your help. I have phoned and told them I will not be taking their offer. I will read those threads and see what I can do on my own.
