    McKenzie Hall used these tactics to get money off me quicker. I have a Dmp and have 11 creditors on it which all have been fine and understanding as long as im making payments.
    Mckenzie Hall threaten all sorts of actions that could impact me in my job ( i work for a company in the finance industry and a few off the debts are in their group of companys ) and these have all been fine

    Based on this thread I'm thinking of setting up a company selling 10ft bargepoles to people wishing to "not touch" wonga with one.
    I see big potential.

    Now, where might I get finance for such a venture?
    Hmmm, I know, I could try . . .
    The bankers stole my pension (and everyone else's). It should have earned a lot of money, but they took their bonus pot first.
