Sharks going hungry, that's sad! It is for those losing their job with the Festive Season coming up, to be sure

No surprise with all the pre registering that I suspect has been taking place.

I wonder if a lot of those pre reg's are now due for payment and the cash is drying up.

Is anybody on here financially exposed by the current status of Drive Assist?

I just read the [monesysavingexpert] thread above which is packed full of people not understanding their position, mishandling the process, and generally getting themselves in a knot.

The position is probably not that bad if you handle it properly, although probably not without frustration.

Let me know if there's something I can advise on or help you with.

....due to a £188m hit on a ‘permanent diminution in value of goodwill’.

Drive Assist is the UK’s fifth largest accident management company.

They had goodwill worthy of asset value? Where from?
