With personal debt at an all time high in the UK, you may need a debt management corp to help you become debt free (subject to terms and conditions).
Debt in the UK is at an all time high, with the majority of people having some form of debt. Whether its credit cards, store cards or personal loans, there are many ways for people to unintentionally find themselves owing money that they can’t afford to pay.
A debt management corporation will aim to clear all of your debts in the simplest, quickest and most economic way possible.
By gathering together all of your outstanding debts, we can work out how much you owe. We will speak to each of your creditors and try to lower the interest payments. By assessing your income and outgoing finances, we can establish what you can afford to pay each month to clear the debt and provide you with a schedule for becoming debt free.
Our debt management corporation can assure you that this is often the best way to clear your debts as there are no legally binding contracts, and you can relax in the knowledge that your debt will be professionally managed.
An IVA (Individual Voluntary Agreement) may be necessary if a debt management plan cannot be agreed. This form of payment plan is legally binding and often set out over a 5 year period.
As this agreement is legally binding, it must be signed and agreed to in the presence of a licensed insolvency practitioner. Failure to meet scheduled payments can result in investments, property and possessions being taken to finance the debts.
A debt management corporation will inform you that unlike with bankruptcy, there is no stigma or bad publicity connected to IVAs and they can be conducted entirely privately.
A debt management corporation will inform you that bankruptcy is a big decision and should only be undertaken after all other methods of debt payment have been investigated. Once bankruptcy has been granted, gaining acceptance for credit can be almost impossible for up to six years.
It’s most common for people on long term incapacity benefit, the unemployed and the retired to apply for bankruptcy as they have insufficient income to service their debts.
Bankruptcy will have a much bigger impact on your life than an IVA or debt management agreement. Any creditors will be forced to stop chasing payments once bankruptcy has been agreed, which can be a great relief. All assets, savings, investments or businesses will need to be sold to cover as much of the debt as possible.
