				Hi Maryon, I'm afraid I'm not aware of Money in Control - hopefully others who post will have some knowledge/experience. Our general advice is to speak to 2 or 3 different companies for help/advice and then make a decision as to which you feel happiest with.

				I cannot find any sign of that company with the Government Companies House.
If it was myself I would avoid them, especially as there has been a post on here about them a couple of years ago cold calling someone already in an IVA.

				Hi.  I am afraid that I can only repeat Keith's post.  I have not heard of Money in Control. I will do a little digging and see what I can discover. Hopefully some of our other posters have direct experience.

				As a point of interest - were you cold called?

				They are apparently FCA accredited, but this is third hand. They have a reputation for agressive cold calling but also seem to have a few happy clients. Personally I would avoid cold callers / ambulance chasers.

				Same here - I'd go with a reputable firm - you can find plenty on here.

				They are FCA regulated and trade under a few guises:
Registered	Debt SOS Limited	22/03/2016
Trading	Control My Money	15/08/2016
Trading	Debt Advisor Scotland	17/07/2017
Trading	IVA Advisory Centre	05/04/2017
Trading	Money In Control	22/03/2016
Trading	Simple Debt Advice	16/08/2016
They appear to be an introducer, so you will be handed over to an Insolvency Firm in due course.

				I imagine they will be charging a fee for the 'Introduction'.  I wonder who they pass them on to.

				Steer clear of introducers - go straight to an IP and cut out the middleman.
