I am currently considering...

1. Mccambridge Duffy
2. Melanie Giles

I would appreciate members views on which they went with and who they would recommend?

Thanks

    Vincent Bond aren't an IVA company, they'll refer you to a company... most likely one of the two companies you've mentioned!

    I have heard positive things about both of those companies especially Melanie Giles. I am with Grant Thornton and have no complaints at all...so far... ;)

    As Judo says, both those companies are well recommended. I am with RSM Tenon and, so far, have no complaints, but, had I the chance to rewind I would have gone with Melanie (but discovered her firm after entering IVA).

    I would suggest you give each a ring and see which you feel more comfortable with.

    CCCS - sorry to throw a spanner in the works! All I know is they are a non-profit charity and were fab for me. This isn't a criticism of the others as I have never heard of them!
    Just completed my one-time IVA :D

    CCCS are well thought of, however, they do reap in "donations" much the same as the others reap in "fees". They might be a charity organisation, but they still have bills to pay and need to get this back.

    yep, All IVA companies do have to cover their costs in some way, and that means part of the money you pay.
