My interaction with the company:
We rang them to explaim our situation also paid the first payment after that? They send the iva. I find them no friendly and unhelpful because we are struggle and the contract have got lot mistake (adreess,name .ect,,). Also we lost our car for bad advice.
Why I gave the ratings I did:
People are struggle,need some help to recovery and understand the solution not only the bussness and payment.
One thing they did - which really impressed me:
None , only to resolve and understand why we chosen the I.V.A

Comment: I think people think that IVA's are a way out. 5 years is a long time and so learn take it as a lesson to live within your means. And to be fair it also means people who do pay their bills pick up your tab. How do you think they feel? that said I blame the credit card comapnies at the root of it!

Comment: I'm upset by the fact that the OP's concerns have been ridiculed by previous comment posters. Whether or not grammaticaly correct the OP has posted concerns that should be taken seriously by noone more so than VN

    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.
