Hello
During the many hours I have spent researching our financial options, I have come across an organisation who, for £15, will provide "umpteen intelligent alternatives" to both BR and IVA/DMP which they claim are not necessary in our current situation. (Huge debt, less than 10 creditors, not much equity in house, etc)
In fact I think the precise words were "we need an IVA like a hole in the head"!
I am guessing this is a scam? Surely if there were "intelligent alternatives" we would all be looking into these!
I was intrigued and wondered if anyone else has been tempted to spend a hard-earned £15 to find out what they have to say?

The only alternative that I can think of is pay off the creditors in full.

I wolu not bother sending 15 poounds for seeking non existent solution.

This sounds like a scam to me along with the 'pay us £xxxx and we'll complete your BR forms for you'!

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.

Well if they loaned you a gun to blow your head off, its an alternative, not a very good one I must admit.

I am sure that your IP would have advised you if there were any "umpteen intelligent options".

I'm sure they would have done too Melanie. As I figured, a scam!

It always concerns me how many people are out there to make a quick £ by preying on others who are vulnerable due to their debt problems. What a sad world we live in!
