HI, I AM NEW TO THE FORUMS SO I AM VERY SORRY IF THIS HAS COME UP BEFORE BUT I HEARD THIS ON THE RADIO TODAY. APPARENTLY YOU CAN WIPE OUT OLD LOANS AND CREDIT CARD DEBTS BECAUSE OF NEW LEGISLATION?? IS THIS CORRECT OR JUST A SCAM???
I PHONED THE NO. AND WAS SENT SOME FORMS VIA EMAIL AND WAS TOLD TO FILL OUT FORMS AND RETURN WITH CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS. COSTS AROUND £500 FOR EACH CREDIT CARD OR LOAN.

    Not a scam but if you search the forum you will find loads on this. I would not pay anyone to do this as you can do it yourself with some help on this forum

    Sorry just noticed it was spam...

    Ooops lol
