I have spent the last month looking into starting a debt support line/IVA DM lead generation company.

I am aware that I need a consumer credit licence. I'm also assuming I'd need to be listed as a debt-counsel service?

However this is proving a little tricky.

To apply for a CCL that lets you advise people with debt problems you have to fill in a credit competence plan (CCP1). This is proving a little tricky for me as a new start up company.

I would not be setting up IVAs or anything like that it would just be lead creation, both on the net and over the phone.

Can anyone offer me any assistance or point me in the direction of someone that can help with some questions I have about the application. The OFT have not helped in the slightest.

I’d rather not but if I have to I am willing to pay for the help.
