Bankruptcy is a legal process that will share out your assets fairly among your creditors, so you can write off your outstanding debt and make a fresh start. Read more about Bankruptcy.
• Debt Management Plans - A debt management plan could be the ideal way of turning your loan, credit card, store card and overdraft payments into one affordable, single monthly payment, helping you pay off your debts – and get on with your life. To apply for a Debt Management Plan click here.

Please note that for consumers considering a Debt Management Plan (DMP), although the consumer may become debt free at the end of the DMP period, if a default notice has been issued the effect is likely to remain on the consumer's credit profile for a lengthy time.

Please note that for consumers considering a Debt Management Plan (DMP), if interest and charges continue to apply then there will be an increase in the total amount of debt to be repaid and that due to lower monthly payments it is very likely that the debt will have to be repaid over a longer period of time.

 

• Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA) – An IVA is a scheme to write off all the debts you can’t afford. Stop all creditor action and contact. One affordable monthly payment. An IVA Prevents or stop legal action - including bankruptcy. Read more about the IVA here.
• Administration Orders - An Administration Order is a court order which covers your outstanding debts. Under it you would make a monthly payment to the court, who will then distribute that money on a pro rata basis amongst your creditors. For ‘administering’ the order, the court will take 10% of your payment as handling fees to cover their costs, which they will deduct directly from your monthly payments. Whilst the order is in place no creditor included in the order, without the leave of the court, will be allowed to take action against you. In addition, debt collection procedures and letters against you will be stopped.
