    Just bumping this up as SS's first post could prove invaluable to newbies, so ideal to keep it up on the first page!

    I don't know how the whole 'stickie' thing works, but maybe MSE would let one be put on DFW, just to warn people about googling CCCS until it gets resolved one way or another?

  • Well done guys,

    Its fantstic to see that there are so many of you looking out for the new and vulnerable people in debt and looking for solutions. Am watching with interest and will join in/follow any suggested actions. Finding Payplan saved my life.

    I'm not at all computer/internet literate but will do my best - am gonna try and grow a signature now...

    It's not only the debt charities this affects, it's also the banks. For example googling alliance & leicester you get scummy link farms for loans.

    Interestingly, HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds do not have this problem.[SIZE=-1]

    Hmmmm. c-c-c-s I haven't seen for a few days. Is it just that you guys are getting there before me? Or have the flippers taken the hint, either way, DFW, I salute you :T

    The payplan and national debtline ones are far more stubborn.

    debtfreedirect are my new worst enemys. Them, and whoever the f.....lip national-UK-debtline.cowboys are. (it was a rhetorical question, btw)

    Also, do you like my slightly edited sig?!
