Paving site review

This is a fairly trustworthy site to buy paving slabs and other construction materials. It checks out on on all sources I usually use: domain registration, physical address, reputation sites and a quick search for complains. So go ahead and look around, but remember that for larger purchases you should consult an expert. They also have a fairly standard return policy, so if you do find out that you don't need a certain item, you might still be able to salvage some money.

External pavement is tricky in general, so you really need to consult somebody who done it before. It requires some kind of foundation (mostly compacted sand) and manual work to lay each piece. When finished it can look very nice, but it can also be very adversarial to people / children who happen to fall on them. I would recommend grass, asphalt (possibly a small strip of it for the tires if we are talking about a garage) and only after that paving with slabs. Good luck with the construction!

IVA site review

Reviewing this site pose a conundrum to me (other than how to write the word conundrum): on the one side they seem to be a legitimate site for IVA advice, with a long standing domain registration, a physical address and even an entry at the Office of Fair trading (which seem to be the equivalent of the Better Business Bureau). On the other hand there are other sites with the same profile - debt relief - which refer the same physical address but are hosted elsewhere (in Germany for example).

I can't draw a definite conclusion about this. I'm not from the UK and have zero familiarity with the UK law. Probably the only advice I can give at this moment is to try asking your close family or your trusted friends. I imagine that it is painful to do so, but this is the only source I can think of where you can get money without the exorbitant rates asked by payday lenders. All that I can do is hope that you prevail, since I have a deep belief that as long as you have determination, you will find your place.
