Ccl?

I've just had a call from a company called 'CCL', they claimed they could have half of my outstanding debts wiped off because my creditors are charging me too much interest.

I've never heard of them and was more than a little skeptical about it so I didn't 'sign up'. I've tried to google them but couldn't find anything. Has anyone else heard of them?

    Dave, dont touch them with a bargepole.

    They have no way of know how much you owe and how much interest you are paying.

    They are just fishing for business and will eventually scam you.

    What they do is take an up front fee from you for trying to lessen the interest, of course they wont be able to, but they will have carried out what they have said they would do. So they will fail, and they will be laughing all the way to the bank with yours and thousands of others 'up front' fees.

    Well done for resisting.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
