Helping people like you
Behind every call to Debt Lifeboat is a personal story – the particular set of circumstances that led that person into debt.
Our friendly team of IVA experts know that understanding your story is the most effective way of designing an IVA that will succeed. That’s why we always treat you as a person, not a number. And it’s why we are always delighted when one of our customers becomes debt free.
On this page are the stories of some of the people we’ve helped in recent years. We haven't used their real names or photos and we've changed some of the details, but their experiences are genuine and may share elements of your own debt problems.
Perhaps, like Paul, a business failure left you with unmanageable debts.

The stories are as diverse as our customers, who come from all walks of life. But they all share a happy ending: a future free from debt problems and debt worries. That’s because there’s one thing all our customers have in common: a commitment to deal with their debts and secure a debt free future for themselves and their families.
