Debt Solutions in Carlisle, Cumbria

Money Advice Direct’s debt advisers understand indebted people in depth, to help them through their debt problems. The debt solutions offered range from basic advice, such as simply destroying credit cards and curbing unnecessary expenditure, to the following solutions:

• Consolidation loan – This is a single loan obtained to pay off multiple loans. A consolidated loan may offer a lower monthly payment but a longer repayment period.
• Re-mortgage - Mortgaging a property you already own, usually replacing an existing mortgage. You can remortgage to obtain lower monthly payments, or if you have sufficient equity in you property, to raise money for a number of purposes.
• Informal debt arrangements - Where is not possible to enter into formal insolvency proceedings such as an Individual Voluntary Arrangement  or a Bankruptcy order  it is sometimes worth looking at an Informal Arrangement. In the UK if you are in debt but your disposable income is very minimal, i.e. under £50 or even £100 you may need to consider a special non-governmental scheme called an informal arrangement.
• Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) - An IVA is an alternative to bankruptcy; a person can enter into an IVA and pay the maximum possible amount to the creditors to repay their debts. These are seen as a preferable option than Bankruptcy.
• Bankruptcy - Bankruptcy is an option that often has to be considered when an individual cannot pay their debts as they fall due. A first time bankrupt with debts will generally receive their discharge one year after the date of the bankruptcy order. Although bankruptcy has a bad stigma and is publicly advertised, it should always be considered when dealing with individual insolvency cases. Please note that if your are ever faced with the prospect of bankruptcy you should look at alternatives as soon as possible such as the Individual Voluntary Arrangement procedure (IVA).
