Has anyone ever heard of these guys?
Basically the chap said they look at the credit agreements and go through them with a fine tooth comb.
I realise I've had a £9000 loan but frankly, with the interest I've already paid more and I've still got £6000!
Just curious really

Don't bother... any advice they can give you you can get for free online or by contacting one of the free oganisations in my signature
Companies who's aim it is to make money out of people in debt should be banned for giving false hope and making promises they can't keep (or at least should be made to point out the advice is available FREE through much better charities than their company) DFW Nerd #025DFW no more!

I've heard quite a few good things about Bournes Debt Solutions.. there are lots of free resources out there to help you out, but how confident would you be acting on the work yourself?
Companies like Bournes offer advice and then talk you through what action is needed to help sort out your finances...No Links in Signatures by Site Rules - MSE Forum Team 20 -
Free debt advice is also free on this board so you may not need to wait for CAB or be concerned about who funds payplan or CCCS.

Well done George UK on getting your debts reduced.
I tried but found it too stressful and didn't think I was getting anywhere. I feel much better for leaving it to someone else to do all the work for me.0 -
I would think Bournes charge a fee CCCS and payplan dont!! the people who are posting in favour of Bournes are new posters, there is lots of good advice on here from people in all sorts of situations with massive experience.....who would you reckon knows more???? as for someone doing all the work for you in my experience CCCS did that after I had supplied them with details same as you would with Bournes but for nothing!0

Agree HHH but can I suggest that this thread is allowed to die rather than keep boosting it to the top of the page?
If any more new posters come on here boosting it, then we might report the whole thread to abuse?If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0
