They are a fee paying debt management company, avoid at all costs.
this is from there website :
'Initial Fee' means Your first two monthly payments which are paid to Us as a set up fee and not paid to Your Creditors.
'Monthly Fee' means the Monthly Fee payable for our Services. This is 17.625% of Your Monthly Payment (apart from the first two payments which are the Initial Fee), subject to a minimum of £35 and a maximum of £100.
You can set up a FREE debt management plan yourself, or one of the free debt charity's can do it for you, don't ever pay anyone for a DMP !!!!!!

If you want to get ripped off, and 'sold' the debt solution they reckon they can squeeze the most profits and fees out of you with, then by all means use them.
If you want to do what is best for you and not them, avoid at all costs.Still rolling rolling rolling......<

Your welcome, I think they are all having a sales push at the moment, I had a call from Harrington Brookes, another fee paying DMC, the other day, saying because id been refused credit my details had been passed to them, I`ve been on an IVA for the last 6 yrs and haven't had any credit, I don't know where they get peoples details from, needless to say they got a firm NO from me lol !!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
