Review date: 22 February 2012

Insolvency Practitioner Ratings
The quality of IVA proposal: 2 out of 10
Overall Insolvency Practitioner Rating: 1 out of 10
 
My circumstances:
London based office worker with 80k of debt and no assets
My interaction with the company:
I made contact, after several discussions they recommended and IVA. Doccuments were compiled / returned and then the meeting scheduled. They were very weak in the meeting and I had to propose the changes myself instead of the so called professionals. I found them to be very weak and left the onus to the client.
Why I gave the ratings I did:
I rated them 1 out of 10 because a lot of onus was put on me to resolve the issues myself when they are getting a lot of profit from an IVA and they are not proactive at ongoing management of this
One thing they did - which really impressed me:
Initial impression
One thing they did - which I felt could be improved:
Everything else 
Other points
IVA almost about to fail due to lack of support. Dividend 18p in the pound.

    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.
