Debt Management Plan

Hello

I had contacted Brunel Franklin about PPI, but after talking to them about my financial difficulties, they have offered to do a DMP for me for free. Has anyone any experience of Brunel Franklin...are they kosher?

Cheers for now

DM ;)

    No such thing as a free lunch - or free DMP either. Somewhere along the line they will take a slice.

    Why not go to one of the organisations that does it for free - Stepchange (was CCCS) or Payplan?

    No experience of them. Not heard previously of them offering DMPs.

    But I would advise contacting one of the debt advice charities if you are considering a DMP.

    Whilst the T&Cs on their website appear to state they don't charge a fee they won't be as experienced or knowledgeable as the charities with DMPs. And I'd expect a fairly hard sell from BF to try to persuade you to use their other services.

  • If you have PPI to reclaim, use the information on this site to do it for free - Brunel whatsits will take approx 30% of anything you have due back to you on that too.

    The charities (the ones Sagaris has listed) are the only ones that do this for free - the others are businesses, and will be making money from you somewhere.
