Review of: W3 Debt Solutions
Review date: 17 February 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: 4 days
Weeks to IVA proposal after decision made: 2 weeks
Weeks to IVA accepted/rejected after decision made: 6 weeks
 
IVA Company Ratings
Their debt solutions expertise: 1 out of 10
Their customer service: 1 out of 10
Their speed of response: 1 out of 10
Overall Company Rating: 1 out of 10
 
Insolvency Practitioner Ratings
The quality of IVA proposal: 1 out of 10
Overall Insolvency Practitioner Rating: 1 out of 10
 
My circumstances:
I am a professional person based in London. I hand a debt of over 80K and a property with 30K equity.
My interaction with the company:
W3 were very helpful in the sales phase, but since then my impression has been that thay are on the side of my creditors and do not represent my interests at all. Their letters and calls are rude and abrupt and they make no attempt to suggest solutions to problems - only threats and rudeness.
Why I gave the ratings I did:
They are a rude and abrupt company and make no effort to represent my interests at all. They are 100% on the side of my creditors, contrary to what they said when they were selling their service to me.
One thing they did - which really impressed me:
Sold their solution
One thing they did - which I felt could be improved:
Their communication with THEIR client and the way they address their customers 
Other points
I am year 4 of my IVA and W3 are the rudest company I have had the misfortune to deal with.

    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.
