Has anyone heard of them and if you have please can you confirm they are just looking to charge us to go on an IVA?
Thanks

Most likely yes, that's the only way to get that much of your debt wiped, an IVA, how long have you left on your DMP ?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.

No I haven't heard of them, but as a good rule no-one who cold calls you ever has your best interest at heart!
However a 7 year DMP already sounds as though you are in for a long haul. How much do you still owe? Have all your creditors frozen interest? How long will your DMP last?
It may be that you should investigate your other debt options. Just don't start with a cold caller!0 -
thanks everyone for your help!
