Debtfree Direct...

Hi Guys,

My friend is about to satrt an IVS with Debtfree direct, I heard of CCCS & Payplan through the site, but not these? Has anyone got any info I can pass onto her? (I'm not even sure if these are one of those companies that charge for the privilage?:confused:)

Your help is much appreciated.

PS. I told her to visit here too...

    Get your friend to talk to CCCS or PAYPLAN before she signs up with Debtfree Direct. Their advice is free, and even if some of their services are chargeable, they will be cheaper than Debtfree direct (who are mentioned in some of the threads on this board).

    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.

  • Thanks rog,

    Had a quick chat with her this morning, mentioned starting IVA with DFD, but it didn't ring any bells with me - she thought they were free because they were reccomended by work! I did mention payplan & cccs - might have to try again and mention here again - think it might be a bit of a struggle - not sure the lightbulb is on fully yet!
