We have an IP who posts on here - Lisa Thomas, you could give her company a call. Another one is MCambridge Duffy. Google them for more details. Lisa's details can be found under the experts link at the side of the page.

I wouldnt even know where to start with little companies 🤷‍♀️

Just give them a call ..... Lisa Thomas from Neville and Co., who posts on the forum here: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=31774 Or the number at the top of this page (or use the call back feature: https://www.iva.co.uk/iva-helpline). Also McCambridge Duffy are highly respected: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=8021

There are many more, like Freeman Jones, memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=18295 and others.

I am not allowed to recommend specific firms, but, if I were to go down the IVA route again, I would speak to one, or more, of those mentioned first.

I agree - I was with Payplan and had no problems but would not recommend them now.

Hi went back to see citizens advice but they couldn't get me in for a appointment. So they have put me in the main system now and am getting a call back monday morning so hopefully something will be sorted.

Hello just a quick update finally spike to CA and they have started me on the DRO route. The ca rang me told them my expenditure and said basically had nothing left so I would qualify for DRO Ivr had the pack signed in lots of stuff and my credit score check. Now they am ringing me tomorrow morning between 9am and 11am does anyone know what they ask? Or do I just go through all my money again? And then I get a letter with barcode on and have to pay £90 at post office and keep everything crossed it goes through. My credit score is rubbish now anyway and i know its kn my file for 6 years but less stress than a iva i couldn't afford. Hope everyone is ok on here that gave me advice and your all staying safe 😊

Hi Natalie -- yes, a DRO, if accepted, is certainly the way to go. Yes, like an IVA, it leave your credit file shot for 6 years, but, unlike an IVA, it can't fail and you aren't under a microscope for the 6 years.

Best of luck with it.
