Credit cards and personal loans are some of the main causes of personal debt in the UK. In recent years, application forms for credit arrived with every postal delivery, and now the nation is struggling to repay what is owed.
From a period where obtaining credit was easy for the majority, people throughout the country are even struggling to just pay off the interest on their debts.
In these situations, our debt management company can really help.
A debt management agreement is a simple and effective way of clearing your debts. Our debt managers will be able to assess your income and outgoings and collate your debts together to make repayment so much easier to handle. We will speak with your creditors and negotiate a timeframe and a regular repayment amount to suit your budget. We will even try to negotiate lower interest repayments.
Our debt management company can assure you that there are no legal ties with these agreements and they are designed to help both the creditors and the debtor.
IVAs (Individual Voluntary Agreements) are often sought by creditors who won’t agree to a debt management plan with their debtor. They are usually set out over a 5 year period with the aim of making the debtor, debt free (subject to terms and conditions).
An IVA is a legally binding agreement and therefore must be agreed to in the presence of a licensed insolvency practitioner.
Property, possessions and investments may be seized to finance the remaining debts if payments are missed. An IVA can even be conducted privately, with none of the negative press or stigma that accompanies bankruptcy.
A debt management company, such as ours, will provide you with all the information you need to fully understand how an IVA can help you.
A good debt management company will inform you that bankruptcy is an extreme measure with long lasting implications. It can only be granted for debts over £750 and is often impossible to get credit for up to 6 years after filing for bankruptcy. People with little or no income are the prime candidates for bankruptcy, such as retired, unemployed or those on long term incapacity benefit.
Once a bankruptcy order is filed, creditors must accept that they will receive less than the full amount owed and stop chasing payment from the debtor. This can be a great relief, but all assets, investments, savings and businesses must be sold to finance the outstanding amount.
