looking for people who've done bankruptcy/ IVA/ DRO or something similar for advice article

[ethicalmoney]

Hi there

I wasn't sure where to post... I'm writing a last minute article for a national paper letting people know about what options might be available to them if they're struggling with debt. The idea came to me after someone mentioned a DRO to me and I'd never heard of it. I want people to know what options are there and how they work. I am hoping to find one or two people who've been through / going through/ considering any of the above who wouldn't mind a quick chat about their experience. I'm on a very tight deadline and hoping to have a 15 minute phone or email conversation with people in the next day or so if possible. Can anyone help? I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks v much. Happy to provide any more details you need over PM, including my Linkedin and twitter details so you can check me out.

Ordinarily it's polite to seek permission prior to posting such requests.

Please be so kind to elaborate what it is you're wanting to do, who you are (not LinkedIn) and which paper you're targeting then we'll let you know. Please mail me - webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk

thanks.

Hi

if anyone wants to chat then they're free to contact you. Might be an idea adding your email address so folks can mail you.

This thread details a member's BR experience from start to finish. It worked for him. He hasn't been online since November but you could send him a PM with a link to your thread. Although please don't say the site has asked him to talk to you because it would have to be his own decision which is why I'm posting this on your thread

I've had a peep at your Twitter account so here it is for anyone else who would like to see what you get up to. I completely agree with you about the need for a bag of mini eggs to make the day work better

haha! thanks Plan B. I haven't been able to drag myself away from the desk for mini eggs ! I have now interviewed someone re bankruptcy, but urgently looking for someone who's got experience of IVA and DRO. Been looking non-stop for a week and proving impossible...

Was trying to avoid posting up twitter details as have made a personal post on here and didn't want to necessarily link my public and private world, but it happens...

I've gone through all the threads I can find on here that relate to IVAs and I can't find any with positive experiences This one is a member who regretted going into an IVA only a year after it started

I'm sorry about that. I wasn't aware you had started a separate personal thread which was my mistake

I was only trying to raise your public profile

We don't have any current IVA/DRO victims on AAD. Whilst we're pleased we get to the users prior to formalising their debts this way, generally speaking if you're on a DRO/IVA then chances are you'd not be here at all as your debt is technically being managed.

We try and get folks to fight back prior to signing away their lives - albeit on a very rare occasion we have suggested an IVA/DRO might best suit that users circumstances but they never did go through with it from my knowledge. Hence you'll struggle to speak to many on AAD as we don't actively support IVA / DRO's.
