Debt Management Key Benefits.
Also know as an informal agreement or structured repayment plan , the key benefit of debt management are as follows:-- Lower Affordable Payments.
What is need to pay is based on what you can afford, not how much you owe.
This is the law, creditors can't ask you for more than you can realistically afford after taking into account all your essential living expenses. - Just one monthly or Weekly Payment.

£58,000 of debt - but can't do an IVA.

| Now paying: £300/month | |
| Client has £200,000 equity in his home & unsecured debts of £58,000.

1. What if my creditors continue to pursue me for payments ?
In the short term, while your debt repayment plan is being setup, your creditors may continue to take action to recover your debts. Do not ignore them. Deal with calls politely, informing creditors that you have appointed ourselves to act on your behalf. Please forward any letters to us to deal with on your behalf. Generally speaking, creditors are normally synthetic to those in difficulties and doing they up most to maintain reduced payments by using a debt management company.2. One of my Creditor say they are going to send a bailiff round to collect their money, can they do this?
Certainly not. A bailiff can only be instructed and sent by a County Court or Sheriffs office. This means a bailiff can only call if you default on a court order. A debt collector may try to trick you by saying, “if you don’t pay this bill, we could send a bailiff round” this is not true unless you have defaulted on an earlier court order.3. Can you guarantee a reduction in payments ?
No. Stating we can guarantee a reduction in payments is not something we are allowed to do under guidelines issued by the Office of Fair Trading.It depends on your ability to pay and is at the discretion of your creditors. However, once we take a financial statement from your and explain the situation to your creditors, they will almost certainly agreed with our proposal.
