    Stepchange, Payplan, CAB, National Debtline, are all good, free sources of information.
    Stepchange probably your best bet.
    Never pay for debt advice.

    An IVA is just one strategy out of many and often missold. Follow Sourcrates' advice.

    I totally agree with Sourcrates (I usually do, for some strange reason . . . ) 

    StepChange is SOOOOO good. They helped me so much, I can't praise them highly enough. All free, and never ever judgemental. Just when I was really at my lowest, they offered a workable solution for me.

    Their link is here :  https://www.stepchange.org/

    Good luck! But you won't need luck with StepChange.
