    Thoughts on Cascade(etc) with Fighting Funds & Letters of Representation

    Feels like I'm blundering around in the dark a bit, so am just looking for what others are experiencing/doing.

    Background: I was with Cascade for a period of about 4 years, and have now had an APN covering all those years. I'm also going through the fighting fund cascade had setup as part of the JR's.

    We've just been informed cascade has now closed down, and I'm just not entirely sure what my best plan of action is - ie, should I trust that fighting fund, or maybe it won't make any difference.

    I would love to know anyone in the same cascade boat, and their experiences (whether should stay with the fighting fund, or investigate WTT's BigGroup I've read a bit about for example (but not entirely sure what I get, other then perhaps access to a private forum)).

    I'm also currently trying to get my letter of representation together to try and stop the APN (although I believe the end result will just be another 30 days stay of execution), but, I'm having a lot of difficulty with a plan of attack to calculate 4 years of the schemes income with a view of finding holes in their calculations. Is there any advice or resources I can use that anyone knows of?

    All a bit of a mess

      Joining BG is a no brainer. Plenty of ex-Cascade there.

            Can you share how you've found out about them closing? I received their recent contractor updates, which didn't stipulate closure, but then again their website's down...

              Interesting.

              Which updates are you referring to?

                  They had informed their remaining clients.

                    Ok maybe this isn't the best arena to discuss so I won't mention details mentioned on contractor updates etc... I'll consider joining the BT group etc which seems to be the place to discuss. Join the "potential bankruptcy support" group
