Debt Management Plans

Our Debt Management Plans (DMP) are a more informal way to resolve your debt issues. They are perfect for helping people who can’t always make their minimum repayments on all their loans, bank and store cards, who have debts of below £12,000. A Debt Management Plan combines all your unsecured monthly debts (such as personal loans, pay day loans, overdrafts, credit card debts etc.) and condenses them into one monthly payment, which is determined by how much you can afford to pay after your living expenses have being taken into account.

Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)

An IVA is a legally binding, formal agreement. Each case is dealt with on an individual basis and is tailored to the circumstances of the person involved. It is often a solution that is normally proposed if outstanding debts are worth more than £12,000 and money is owed to three or more creditors.

It can be an excellent way of solving severe debt issues, leaving you debt free after (usually) five years. A monthly payment is made based on what you can realistically afford to pay (once all living expenses have been taken into account), and this is split between all your creditors. If agreed, an IVA could reduce your monthly payments, prevent your creditors from taking further action against you, and once complete (usually after five years), it could write off the remaining unsecured debt.

Trust Deed

A trust deed is setting up a voluntary agreement between you and the people you owe money. The agreement is to repay part of what you owe and is generally an agreement to pay out part of your income for a set amount of time. Trust deeds has to be supervised by an insolvancy practitioner which is the type of people we can provide. An ordinary trust deed is not binding on creditors unless they agree to its terms.

Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a form of insolvency (like an IVA). It is a legal process that takes available assets and shares their value fairly among your creditors. Bankruptcy can protect you from further legal action and upon successful completion (normally after 1 year), your outstanding debts will be written off, allowing you to make a fresh start.

Bankruptcy is a viable option for some people, for who there is no way to repay what is owed to creditors in a reasonable amount of time. If your outgoings are more than your income, your are technically ‘insolvent’, and if your debts are particularly high and are eating away at a large part of your disposable income, and you don’t think your financial situation will improve in the short to medium term, you may need to think about declaring yourself bankrupt.

For more information on Bankruptcy, call our specialist debt advisors now. They will be able to advise if this is the best course of action for you, and also discuss other debt solutions.

Debt Consolidation

If you are trying to manage multiple different debts across credit cards, store cards and other loan or HP agreements, juggling all these commitments can be difficult. With debt consolidation, all your outstanding debts are accumulated together into one affordable monthly payment, to one company, not only making it easier to keep track of your debts, but also giving you an idea of when they will be repaid.

As everyone’s circumstances are different, there are numerous ways of consolidating your debts. These include:

Debt Relief Order

A debt relief order (DRO) is an order given by the Insolvency Service in cases where an individual can’t afford to pay off their debts. Debt relief orders are only available in extreme circumstances, where total outstanding debt is less than £15,000, income levels are particularly low (where disposable income is less than £50 a month), and the individual does not own any assets worth more than £300.

With a debt relief order, no creditor is able to take action to get their money back, a ruling which lasts for as long as you have the DRO, which is normally about a year. At the end of this time, all the debts included in your order are written off.

DROs are only applicable in certain circumstances. To find out more about DROs, call one of our debt solutions specialists.
