Less than 1 month into an IVA and today I get a letter from what seems at first glance to be a nice friendly IVA support charity or something. It includes a letter telling me they're enclosing 2 of their most recent copies of 'IVA News' and their aim is to help support me through my IVA and hope to be able to shorten the 5 year period and save me a lot of money.
On closer examination it's only A BLOODY OFFER OF A SECURED LOAN!!!!! Two 4 page newsletters packed full of the reasons why I should get a secured loan from them on my house and use the cash to pay off my IVA early. Do these guys ever give up?

This is just a trend i'm sorry to say.
The other day our bank phoned to discuss our CC and what did they suggest? That we take out an extension on our loan. We made that mistake once before but thanks to Martin and DFW we where now prepared for this. We kindly rejected their offer but asked if they could do anything about the interest on our CC, after alittle chat backwards and forwards they said no, but wh hadn't lost anything in the asking and they didn't get what they wanted.
Just see it as a part of the way we now live and smile at the fact that you know that and yet you are no longer accepting or part of it.Success means having to worry about every thing in the world......EXCEPT MONEY. Johnny Cash

I'm with Payplan. I think I remember that a list is published somewhere of all new IVAs so they must troll that and send out their crappy heap of !!!!!! to everyone! :mad:Debt as at 12th July 2006 - £61,345 :eek: :eek: :eek:

Why don't you 'NAME and SHAME' this unscrupulous bunch of vultures?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.
