Review of: Payplan
Review date: 18 March 2008
Insolvency Practitioner who handled case: Kenneth Marland
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: 3 weeks
Weeks to IVA accepted/rejected after decision made: 8 weeks
 
IVA Company Ratings
Their debt solutions expertise: 8 out of 10
Their customer service: 8 out of 10
Their speed of response: 7 out of 10
Overall Company Rating: 8 out of 10
 
Insolvency Practitioner Ratings
The quality of IVA proposal: 8 out of 10
Overall Insolvency Practitioner Rating: 8 out of 10
 
My circumstances:
I work in accountancy, and had £36k of debt, and a property with £9k equity
My interaction with the company:
I rung them for advise, straight away i felt at ease. They were non judemental, and went through my options with me over the telephone. I opted for IVA, as Bankrupsy was not an option and DMP would have taken forever to pay off. Sent all the paperwork in that they requested, and within a week i had my proposal. I carefully read through this, signed it and sent it back.
Why I gave the ratings I did:
I rated them 8 out of 10, because overall they were good with advise, but i have had one or two problems with getting response from emails that i have sent them. If i ring them i have no problems, but at work its only a small office, and i dont want everyone knowing my business, so email is better for me.
One thing they did - which really impressed me:
On the ball with proposal
One thing they did - which I felt could be improved:
Responding to emails 
Other points

    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.
