Dro

in IVA & DRO
I was originally sorting my debts out with CCCS and only after speaking to a friend did she tell me to go to my local CAB to see about a DRO as my debts were under £15,000 - they were so helpful and did all the paperwork for me so if owe less than £15,000 it really is worth considering - I will be debt free in June next year and cant wait!!! :j

    They're worth their weight in gold DROs. :)

    CCCS would have done a DRO for you...

    From clients who's told me their experience, CCCS have a very computer based approach. If their computer assessment says you should be doing a DMP or whatever there isn't any flexibility apparently.

    ive helped people through the CCCS process and found it to be very flexible, i understand they do use a complex IT system but the advisors are able to over-ride if they feel that they know better.

    That's good. I only have the client's word for it and we have our own DMP referral system to CCCS, so it's good to hear that :)
