Testimonials
from this debt event: |
"The subject of personal insolvency, whichever solution is preferred by an individual in financial difficulty, remains immensely topical in today’s post “credit-crunch” environment. I look forward to further debates on these subjects into the future, and am pleased that yet again iva.co.uk is tackling the issues in this profession from a sound practical level rather than a regulatory platform"
Melanie Giles, Panel Member and Insolvency Practitioner |
