Started my IVA in 2011, the service was easy to understand, to the point and straight forward, I spend the next 5 years loading yearly with DFD, each and every time there were no issues, every time I called I spoke to someone who had more than enough time to talk and answer all my questions, 6 years and 2 weeks later my credit file is totally clean, all showing excellent credit rating and I'm now looking to buy my 1st home, being in an IVA is definitely. It something I'm proud of but things happen beyond your control sometimes, DFD never once judged me and saw the whole time through with me, thank you so much much recommended. Keep up the good work

Firstly I've just got to say a very big thankyou to all the caring people at DFD who made a vast difference. When I was in 'The dark place' not knowing which way to turn it seemed preferable to me to end things rather than admit what I thought of as failure. The first phone call was so difficult to make and I did call DFD several times but ended the call before anyone answered. I am so pleased that I eventually spoke to someone who seemed to understand my situation. I never felt pressurised and in fact quite the opposite. It was good to know that a solution was possible and that glint of light gave me hope - something to hang on to.

At first it's a lengthy process but then you have to expect this as they need every detail to put you back in control of your finances. Extremely courteous and understanding on which for me was an embarrassing time in my life not to mention stressful. Everyone was great from start to finish but do your homework and get yourself set up and get your life back kn track. I had quite a large debt which was controlled but getting out of hand so for me personally I'm hopeful and feeling much brighter about my families future.

Before finding Debtfree Direct, we originally went for an IVA with another company. I found the process of giving information tedious as well as time consuming. With Debtfree direct I felt at ease as soon as I had spoken to the advisors. The process was clearer and more professional than the previous company and was sorted within a matter of weeks rather than a few months! We loved the fact that everything was straightforward and all relevant options were given to us so we could make an informed decision. The advisors were very friendly, knowledgeable and explained everything in plain English.

I cannot being to tell people how DFD have changed my life. They are the most professional and skilled company I have used. I used quite a few companies and each one failed. DFD where my last chance before bankruptcy and they did a superb job. They were helpful all the way though and the staff are so freindly and understanding. Thank you DFD you have changed my life.

I have been suffering with mental illness for a number of years and had ended up in financial difficulty. Debit free direct staff were helpful and reassuring with their knowledge and provided me with a solution which would benefit me and my family. Throughout the process of setting up my IVA I was dealt with professionally and felt that the staff dealing with my case really cared about doing the right thing to support me through this difficult period of time.

When the Financial Conduct Authority came into action in April 2014, they conducted a thorough investigation of Lawrence Charlton and all of their 14 associated Debt Management Brands. They found that LC were withholding just over £750,000 of their clients' money and have been holding it for many years. This is due to the fact that when they issues cheques and BACS payments to creditors, if any details are incorrect the payments are sent back. The issues with this is that LC have no process for what to do with that money when it is returned and so have been holding this money for years as it continues to grow. They are currently in the process of trying to return this money to their clients. Some people are being refunded pence, others thousands.
The issue with this is that they are not telling their clients that in accordance to UK Financial Laws, their clients are entitled to claim interest on this money for the length of time it has been held for at the current rate of interest set by the Bank of England.
I urge anyone who has any affiliation with Lawrence Charlton, Debt Free Direct, the Fairpoint Group and any of their affiliated brands to get in touch with them and request your money back plus the interest you are legally owed.
I worked with these guys in a middle management position for 3 years and I've seen the underhanded and deceitful lengths they will go to in order to cover up the truth. Please get in touch with them as you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
