clear your credit cards with Churchill Credit Clear

Hi
i have been approached by Churchill Credit Clear who say that they can clear off my credit card debt and get me money back for interest from the credit card companies if my cards were taken out before April 07
there is a fee and they take 10% on off the money you get back after your debt is clear
is this too good to be true?

    Well they do, they all do! Do you really think that in this day-and-age we get anything for free? Come on, you're surely not that naive..... :confused:

    You can do it yourself, if of course the agreement is questionable, by using the link I posted above which walks you through the process.....

    LOL, sorry but we get 100's of people asking the same question day-in-day-out but what fails to amaze me is the same amount of news stating that we, as consumers, should NOT be using any company purporting to clear any debts - they are acting unlawfully (well 99% are)....

    It just gets frustrating when so many people ask the same nonsense - why would anyone work for free? It just seems people have blinkers on and fail to realise we're in the 21st century after all - nothing is free!

    Regards to your original point, the link I provided above teaches you how to deal with this for free, yourself and with the help of us if required.

    Good Luck :D
