    Who are they? Coronation Street actors? Racing drivers? TV Repair men? Give some details.

    As you won't say anything about them, We'll make up our own story..

    You signed up with them after listening to all sorts of fantastic promises.

    You have been paying them for two Months but the calls from your creditors are getting worse and worse.
    You are being hounded constantly as the creditors are all claiming you are defaulting on your repayments.

    Am I close??

    Your management company are scamming you. they are taking the first two Months payments for theselves and not passing a single penny onto your creditors.
    After this they will still take a chunk of your paments for themselves and drip feed a couple of quid toward your debt.

    The calls will continue, the defaults will mount up and the CCJ's will not be far behind.

    You can't even be certain they have even spoken to your creditors, let alone come to some kind of an arrangement.

    You should have used the CCCS or Payplan who would have actually helped you..... for nothing.




    EDIT: Here it is in their T&C's
    6. Our fees
    6a. Our initial fee is equivalent to your first 2 months payments.
    6b. Our management fee is equal to 17.5% of your monthly payments.
    Thats your first 2 months worth of money going into someone elses pocket, along with 17.5% of everything else you think is helping you clear your debts.
