If you’re looking for the best debt management advice and help, we can help. Money Advice Direct Debt Advice Service is a well established and trusted service so you can be rest assured that you are talking to the best debt management service when you get debt management advice from one of our expert money advice team.
The best debt management will involve an informal discussion and agreement between the debtor (person owing money), the debt management company and the creditors (people owed money). The agreement will be based upon several factors.
We will try to establish:
If you do match the criteria above, we will aim to provide the best debt management plan possible. Our specification will factor-in the following:
A debt management plan will only help you with unsecured debts, such as overdrafts, credit cards, personal loans, student loans and store cards. It is not an option if you have a secured debt, whereby the creditor has a legal agreement with you, that if you fail to make repayments, they have the right to take your home and sell it in order to recover any losses.
IVA is one of the best ways to deal with serious debts over £15,000
IVA’s (Individual Voluntary Agreements) are a formal, legally binding repayment plan, usually set out over a 5 year period. An IVA is usually needed when creditors won’t agree to an informal debt management agreement. Most firms will charge a fee to create an IVA proposal for a client, but our teams do not make any up front charges for this service.
As an IVA is a legal binding agreement, a licensed insolvency practitioner is required to carry out the process.
Bankruptcy is often the best way to deal with debts if you want a clear start.
Bankruptcy is an option for those who have no way of paying their debts, such as the unemployed or those with no income source. It is generally the route taken by those who fail to qualify for a debt management plan and an IVA.
Declaring bankruptcy will relieve the pressure from creditors and allow for a new start. However, all assets, such as property and investments, must be evenly distributed among the creditors.
