In recent years, banks were sending out offers of credit on a regular basis, with every postal delivery containing more offers of credit cards. Store cards and personal loans have also helped to make the national debt higher than ever.
Due to this high level of debt, UK debt management companies are helping more people than ever to clear their personal debts.
Debt is not always a bad thing. If debt is managed correctly, it can be extremely helpful in day to day life. UK debt management companies are here to provide you with the help and advice you need.
By evaluating your income and outgoing finances, our debt management team can work out what you can afford to pay each month and schedule repayments to fully clear your debts. We even negotiate with your creditors to lower your interest payments.
If your creditors refuse to agree to a debt management plan, an IVA (Individual Voluntary Agreement) could be the next best option. The main difference between a debt management plan and an IVA is that an IVA is a legally binding, so a licensed insolvency practitioner must be present when the agreement is signed.
UK debt management companies will inform you that IVAs tend to be set out over a 5 year period, and if any payments are missed after the IVA has been agreed, property, investments and possessions may be seized to finance some of the debts.
An IVA can even be conducted confidentially and privately, unlike bankruptcy.
UK debt management companies will advise that bankruptcy is a drastic measure to be taken when all other ways of clearing debt have been investigated and can only be taken for debts in excess of £750. People with little or no income to help clear their debts are usually prime candidates for bankruptcy, such as the unemployed, retired or on long term incapacity benefit.
Declaring bankruptcy can provide a massive weight off your shoulders. All creditors must accept that they will receive a fraction of the owed amount and cease chasing payments. Savings, investments, assets and businesses may be sold to finance the remaining debt.
