| My circumstances: |
| We are a couple who through various circumstances accumulated a debt of £142,000. We were struggling to pay all of our debts - We had little equity in our property but felt we wanted to pay back as much of our debt as possible. |
| My interaction with the company: |
| Debt Lifeboat were approachable and professional in all ways. We felt that they listened to us and any issues we had throughput our IVA were dealt with quickly and without fuss. |
| Why I gave the ratings I did: |
| For all the reasons stated above. |
| One thing they did - which really impressed me: |
| Final payment made 28/11/2012 and received Certificate of due completion on the 14/12/2012! |
| One thing they did - which I felt could be improved: |
| All good no issues |
| Other points |
| We had unsecured debts that amounted to over £142,000, and dividends of 41.76 pence in the pound were paid, totalling over £59,000. Therefore almost £83,000 worth of debts were written-off.<br> |
