hi just to let you know my partner joined this company in june 2009. they have had all credit card and loan aggreements back from companys by end of july, and they have done NOTHING. he paid £300 a month to them for his "pot" that they would use to pay creditors if they couldn't help, which they couldn't and they haven't. one company took him to court over non payment. don't worry they said, we wouldn't let it go to court if we thought you couldn't win. RUBBISH! the judge ripped them apart and practically laughed in my partners face over there "defence", said they hadn't recieved all paperwork from creditor, yet it was all there. he is now in a worse mess than before. been to someone else, been given free advice and they are trying to get him an iva. we think he will of lost all money he paid them for his pot as no one will speak to him on the phone! does anyone know if he'll get his money back? we are talking £1,800 which he can't afford to lose. please please be very careful if you are thinking of going with this company, things that sound to good to be true usually are!
