New bankruptcy forum launched

Creditman are reporting the launch of a new bankruptcy advice site and bankruptcy forum by the organisers of IVA.co.uk, the UK’s biggest online community for information and advice about Individual Voluntary Arrangements.

BankruptcyHelp.org will be operating alongside the seemingly well subscribed bankruptcy board on Martin Lewis' Money Expert site and the bankruptcy forum on the Myvesta site but any new initiative that might do something to counterbalance the aggressive sales activity on the IVA front has to be welcomed. It certainly provides some antidote to our report on adviser recruitment in Manchester.

As the new site develops and the forum attracts members it will be interesting to see how the independence of the new site is maintained. The forums on IVA.co.uk are well supported by practising experts - including a very experienced independent IP - who volunteer their own time to provide advice but commercial providers can also post on the site.

Both Thomas Charles and their parent company Accuma are, for example, contributors to the site and although their online advice seems to be objective there is at least an enlightened self interest in their regular association with the site. It will be interesting to see if the less lucrative field of bankruptcy advice attracts similar expertise.
