HI,

Sorry we missed your post! I have no idea what they are like - hopefully another poster who has dealt with them will answer your query.

Hopefully an Industry Expert will come along in the week with more knowledge of Vanguard.

However, having looked at their website, I am concerned that they appear to use the newly emerging, creditor centric, method of calculating equity, which, for me, would be a reason to look elsewhere, unless they could convince me otherwise.

Hi,

It all depends on your disposable income. Make sure you claim for all allowances.

The amount you pay is not based on "fairness" ... it is literally all of your disposable income, so what you are deemed to be able to afford. Some on the same level of debt, might be paying £100, others might be paying £500. If the IP considers it is worth a shot, then it is worth a shot.

Don't forget that, if your income increases, so, too, will the payment amount, as well as handing over a share of overtime etc.

Best of luck with it.

Vanguard are a reputable firm and most companies use similar guidelines for expenses. You could get a second opinion elsewhere or stay where you are at.
