This is terrible - do you have any details regarding this firm or individual?


Try and get everything back from them. Have you given them any money or credit card payment?

You need to see or discuss matters with a proper professional.

You need to have a chat with an IP and give him/her details of all your personal and financial circumstances and particulars.

Visit www.iva.com for reviews on firms and practitioners and select one or two to have a chat with.

They will give you the appropriate advice and it is free.

Let us know how you get on.

Do you know of Gill Wrigley David?

If you have handed over any money or bank account/credit card details I would contact the police asap.

I have heard of Gill Wrigley - this was the practitioner/supervisor that set up my IVA. The company this person is associated with is Tenon Debt Solutions (formally Haines Watts) in Manchester. Should I be worried about this person as I have been paying money to them for just over 2 years now...

Yes, they do keep in touch regularly. How do you find them? I don't think they are particularly sympathetic or understanding. I haven't heard anything back about my 2 year review and I sent all the paperwork off 2 months ago!

Most important thing is to feel comfortable with your IP. I would visit www.iva.com for some reviews and contact another couple of IPs and see who you feel happier with. David and Melanie both come highly recommended by the forum.

You may find that they have been monitoring the forum!

If you are really not happy with them then I do suggest that you try someone else. The professionals on here come highly recommended.

You will be with a firm for a long time so it is advisable that you are totally confident with them.

I know Gill Wrigley and don't panic. She sits on the Debt Resolution Board with personal responsibilty to creditor liason. She is a good egg!

This is indeed an interesting post.

David - why would a company owned by Tenon, and a member of the DRF, hold themselves out to be a government help line?
