Personal debt can be accumulated in many different ways and in recent years. Our debt management associates know that it’s been easy to get credit on demand, regardless of somebody’s financial position.
Credit cards have been one of the most common ways of generating debt, with many people only able to afford the high interest repayments every month. Stress and depression can soon set in if it’s difficult to see light at the end of the tunnel.
Our debt management associates are here to get the best debt management solution for you. We can talk you through your current financial position and negotiate the best way forward, helping you to become debt free (subject to terms and conditions).
A debt management plan may be the best option. Our debt managers will collate your debts, review your income and outgoings, and work with your creditors to develop the best repayment plan. A lower interest rate can even be negotiated with your creditors in many instances and financial freedom can be just a step away.
If creditors don’t agree to a debt management plan, they may want to negotiate an (IVA) Individual Voluntary Agreement). Our debt management advisors will make you aware that IVAs are usually set out over a 5 year period and legally bind the debtor to making scheduled repayments.
Investments, property and possessions may be seized to cover outstanding debts if any payments are missed. Unlike filing for bankruptcy, there’s no negative press or stigma surrounding IVAs and businesses are free to run as normal.
Our debt management associates are here to help you make the right decision to become debt free (subject to terms and conditions).
Good debt management associates will be able to tell you that bankruptcy is an extreme measure for clearing debts and is clearly a last resort for those who have no way of making payments. It is common for retired, unemployed and those on long term incapacity benefit to file for bankruptcy, as they have no income to service the debts.
Bankruptcy is only possible for people with debts of over £750 and has a range of benefits and downfalls.
Once bankruptcy is accepted, all creditors must accept that they will receive a fraction of the full amount owed and must cease to chase the debtor for money. This can be of great relief to the debtor, especially if the burden of owing money has resulted in depression. Any investments, savings, assets or businesses must be sold to finance the debt.
