Review of: IVA Advice Company
Review date: 07 May 2011
Insolvency Practitioner who handled case: Not Known
I proceeded as far along as: Accepted IVA
The solution I opted for in the end: IVA
 
Speed of response
No of days to make a decision after I spoke to IVA company: 1 days
Weeks to IVA proposal after decision made: 5 weeks

IVA Company Ratings
Their debt solutions expertise: 9 out of 10
Their customer service: 9 out of 10
Their speed of response: 9 out of 10
Overall Company Rating: 9 out of 10
 
Insolvency Practitioner Ratings
The quality of IVA proposal: 9 out of 10
Overall Insolvency Practitioner Rating: 9 out of 10
 
My circumstances:
Married couple with debts approaching £100K caused by the recent recession with no disposable income and we could not see any other way out.....
My interaction with the company:
After we made initial contact with them they listened to our situation and suggested a Full & Final IVA.<br> <br> It took longer than we expected because we had to do individual IVAs but we always found them very friendly, helpful and professional.
Why I gave the ratings I did:
I gave them 9 out of 10 because the service we received was excellent
One thing they did - which really impressed me:
We like the way they explained each and every move which was a great credit to them and they made us feel at ease all through the process.
One thing they did - which I felt could be improved:
Nothing to improve. 
Other points
I am now back in full time work and I am paying back 47p in the pound and my wife is paying 67p in the pound.<br> <br> What did we learn from this? We will never have a Credit Card again as long as we live!

    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.
    General Comments
    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.
