Hi, as some of you may know I changed jobs six months ago, however I have found it very difficult to juggle this new job with my role as site manager and spokesperson for IVA.co.uk.
My real passion in life, apart from my family, has become helping people with financial difficulties finding solutions that suit them. I have therefore decided to realise a long standing ambition and work full time in this area.
My role with IVA.co.uk will remain the same, as will the impartiality of the site, but I am delighted to say that I am now working as a debt advisor, working with a range of professionals that I have met in recent years.
I am looking forward to helping people through my new role as an advisor, plus maintaining iva.co.uk's position as the UK's leading website for debt advice and support.
To find out more about me and the work I have been undertaking within the area of personal debt and insolvency, please visit my site

I am sure that you won't regret it Andy, it is a profession that is at times frustrating, exhausting, occasionally emotional and very draining, anti-social (ask Mrs Size!!) and sometimes downright heart-breaking, but it is also ultimately very, very rewarding.
I wouldn't swop my job for the world, and with your obvious passion and zeal I can safely say that I am sure you will be a big hit.
Regards.

Congratulations Andy, and good luck with your new role. When I read the first paragraph of your post I was worried you were leaving the forum!
Who knows, with a bit of luck I might be able to follow you into a similar job one day!

Thanks Mike
I remember,and often quote,something that you said to me at one of the frugal friends evenings that you "love every minute of your job"
I'm sure that there is not many people that could honestly say that.
Regards

Hey, thats fantastic.
I cant think of a better person to work in the debt industry. I think having walked down the road yourself, you know where people are coming from, with you on their side they cant go far wrong. Very best wishes in everthing you do, your passion to help others is an inspiration to us all.
Also I would like to thank you, my firsts posts here were very desperate, I was in a black place for a long time. Without your 'neverending' help I might not have made it through.
Good luck with the job Andy
Extra special regards.

Like Mike, I'm sure you won't regret it. If nothing else, every day in the debt/insolvency business is "interesting". I feel if I don't learn something new each day, I've probably been sleeping on the job[:D]
Good luck with it - I'm sure it will go well for you.

Congratulations Andy. It is my dream to do a job that I love, that would be something to enjoy and not endure. I hope one day to be lucky enough to realise that ambition.
