A distant relative was about to sign up for a debt strategist company called bell and company to deal with a negative equity loan they have.

I’ve convinced them to hang fire as I’m not sure such a service is any use and that the fee: a few grand upfront and a %age of the savings, is worth it.

Anyone used or know anything about such a service?

How much negative equity are we talking?

Often these debt management companies take a fat fee to arrange an IVA which may not be the most appropriate action.

There are charities who will provide advice for free:
