I have been working at home today and have the TV on for company. Lo and behold, an ad for DEBTMATTERS pops up.

What's with this ? I used to be with them and then got transferred to Grant Thornton.

How can they be allowed to sell their book off and then start again ?? Surely there was a reason for the sale that should have meant they weren't allowed to open another ????

Hey Jo, how you doing? I thought debtmatters sold all their clients too, maybe they have decided to trade again. I'm sure one of the professionals will be able to answer this. X

I have also heard that they are trading again, and there is nothing stopping an IP firm selling some of their portfolio and continuing in a reduced fashion I suppose.

Ian still retains some contacts in Debtmatters so maybe he can tell us more about what they are currently doing.

@ Viki - LOL. You always get roped into something ! I've been busy with work and stuff at home lately so I haven't had much time, but it's nice to know I was missed ! Thank you Viki

@ Melanie - it makes you wonder what they will do differently and what about the people they made redundant ? Unless they retained some of their IP's surely from an HR standpoint it would be illegal to replace the staff so soon ??

I guess that they know what they are doing joh71262 - and there must be some business sense for them in continuing to take new appointments.

As someone who was made redundant before they announced they were effectively pulling out of the market, I don't think anyone will be offended if I won't get drawn on this one [:)]

I was a little concerned about the whole DebtMatters situation, but I have my IVA with them and have done since mid May this year.. Who knows.. But the one thing I can say is that they are doing pretty well for me so far, Never had problem in contacting them or getting answers I need which is what I am most pleased about
