I live with my very understanding partner and the very handsome Harry Puss and I was 65k in debt when entered an IVA in October 2006. The IVA failed in February 2007 as I said that I could pay more than I actually could afford so I made myself bankrupt on 29th March 2007. (For the full story, please see my blog)

I have completed an IVA myself and know how hard it can be.
I now advise others and would be delighted to help anyone who is in financial difficulties.
In May 2010 I was a finalist in the Debt Counsellor of the Year award held by Credit Today at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.

I've been supporting my hubby through his IVA journey. Unfortunately, the IVA failed and he was declared bankrupt. He was granted early discharge in November 2009. I hope to be able to give advice on our experience along with being on hand with employment law advice - as I am an experienced HR Manager.

Our IVA has now concluded. it's been tough at times but thanks to this forum, we made it through.
I aim to offer as much support as possible to my fellow forum buddies, whilst I don't have all the answers, often a shoulder to rant or cry on is all we need.
Come and have a laugh in the social section and talk about your pets in our pets section.

I will offer advice and support in any aspects i can, although i don't confess to having all the answers.
Hubby was in an IVA which was completed successfully in december with a Full and Final settlement 3 years in.
I came to this forum like a jibbering wreck but now i and many others are proof that there is light at the end of the debt tunnel.

I am a divorced Mother of four, three of whom are diagnosed with ASD. I got into debt after having to move house to accomodate the needs of my children. I felt very black and ashamed of the situation. I came to the forum in 2006, quite desperate and I was helped to feel better and get something done about it all. Since then I have remained a member and tried to reach out to other people who find themselves in the same black, hopeless place where I once was. I feel that debt makes people extremely vunerable and can lead to self esteem, marriage and relationship problems, its also very isolating. I feel its important that this vunerability doesnt force people to make the wrong choices when it comes to a solution.

I'm an IP working in the personal insolvency field.I've noticed that other expert posters to this site sometimes hold back from saying it as it is,that's not a criticism, I would do the same if my profile was public, but I thought that it might be helpful to have an experienced IP available to say it as it really is, free from the concern that debtors/creditors/IP's might not like what I say.
If I'm wrong I know that there's enough expertise on this board to jump down my throat, but I'll stand my ground if I think that I'm right!!!

I have been helping people with their debts for the last 8 years and being a trained counsellor I am only too aware of the difficult feelings that suffering with debt can cause, especially when the debt is a hidden shame.
Being a Debt Consultant with Melanie I am often the first person someone speaks to when they ring up for help so I know how difficult making that call can be.
