    I'd suggest just using your post on the debt free wannabe page instead, maybe the employment board, bank forum isn't the best place

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I'd suggest you have a read through the DebtCamel site as well.

    Here's a question for you.....who would you blame for someone being in debt?

    I would worry how much debt knowledge you have if you can't find the correct board to post on on this forum.

    You will need to be able to find your way around the internet when you get questions about debt you can't answer yourself.

    Hope the job isn't a glorified sales person for IVAs.
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    There are some jobs around in debt advice, even training from scratch.

    CA seem to have a high turnover for their debt hub, which maybe tells a story. No IVA pushing there

    I know Payplan have been recruiting. Maybe a little IVA pushing.

    And then there a multitude of companies who might describe a role as debt adviser even though it was nothing of the sort. But debt CASEWORKER sounds promising
