Myvesta

I am about to start a DMP with myvesta, can anyone comment on their sucess in getting intrest frozen and payments reduced on debts. Also which creditors are likely or unlikly to do this.
Which creditors are likely to hound you into the ground , or can myvesta stop harrasement, I am impressed with them so far on their website and on the phone but i need info from clients that are using them or have done,:T
thanks in anticipation

  • I've never heard of myvesta, but if they are charging you for this service I think the general advice on this board would be to try one of the free charity services e.g payplan or CCCS. Someone more experienced will be along shortly to give you more advice.

    Just ask yourself ONE question - Do myvesta charge anything for administering a DMP?
    If the answer is yes - then talk to CCCS, CAB, Payplan or National Debtline - they will do this for FREE.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Sorry, cant help Pop.

    I chose CCCS so that all the money I pay goes to my creditors.

    I think most folk round here use the free services of either CCCS, Payplan or CAB to be honest.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

  • I used CAB and they were excellent. All free and very supportive.
