Hi all
This is a first time post so please be gentle with responses I am a simple man trying to make my current situation better.
To cut a long story short after a divorce and everything which goes with that I found myself in not been able to repay my credit card debts of £54000. I have now been a step change DMP for a couple of years but at the level of debt will not be sorted until 2040 which I am not denying what I owe. I have recently been contacted by Media Nest saying potentially they can contend the debt under the CCA for a fixed fee. They are saying all/part of the debt could be written off this sounds all good to be true. I am completely green in this area and not even sure if this is possible ive not heard this before in the press and theres not much on the internet about this process.
Is it a scam?
Are there other companies that offer this service?
Any advice would be greatly received

You can do this yourself. Head to the DFW boards, look at the stickies and post the details of your debts there and the helpful people there can guide you through the process, totally free.
Well, a few posters may steal your cats, they're like that.
