Overall Insolvency Practitioner Rating: 10 out of 10
 
My circumstances:
I am in the print industry and had 76k of debt with 5 creditors
My interaction with the company:
I contacted a Vincent Bond, which I which I hadnt as they somewhat delayed my process, as I had missing paperwork that the IP requested once I was transferred to them.
Why I gave the ratings I did:
After Vincent Bond, the communication, paperwork and support was exceptional.
One thing they did - which really impressed me:
The fact that all my paperwork could be scanned and emailed made me feel that they could react to any creditor leters faster.
One thing they did - which I felt could be improved:
It would be nice if the welcome pack they send included something similar to a gnatt chart of how long and the stages that it takes to get everything in place. I founf myself asking timescale questions on a forum. 
Other points
IVA approved at 37p/£ for 76k of debt, equity release order year 4 which is standard. Ive learnt that I never want credit like credit cards again as they contracts are all in the creditors favour where they can change their policies at the drop of a hat. One credit card that advertises 0% balance transfers and for new customers agressively ended up at nearly 40% apr for what they called me in letters as a valued customer.

    Good Points
    Very informative with lots of useful information. A lot of reviews on firms that really help understand their customer service and ability. The reviews appear to be genuine as they offer interesting insights. Didn't really use the the map but looks impressive!
    Bad Points
    The site is a bit cluttered and sometimes hard to navigate around.

    A useful site that is free to use and full of useful information about IVAs. If you are thinking of doing an IVA then this is a must use site.
