Debt Consolidation Advice: The Best Way Out of your Debt (Without More Debt!)
Apply For The Best IVA or Debt Relief Plan For Your Own Circumstances
Independent Advice. No Bankruptcy. No loss of Dignity.
An IVA is a debt relief plan set up to provide a solution to personal debt and deal generally with the growing issue of individual insolvency. Our clients are licenced to give debt consolidation advice on the basis that IVAs were not designed to be one-size-fits-all remedies to any financial problem, because each individual situation is so different.
The needs of one household or one individual can vary greatly from the needs of another. Any debt consolidation advice given must thus reflect the diverse nature of the situation in which people find themselves.
Generally an Individual Voluntary Arrangement will be set to run for sixty months (sometimes less) and when this has finished all debts are cleared from the credit profile. During this time none of the creditors are allowed to pursue or harass the debtor. The IVA has all the benefits of bankruptcy while having none of the drawbacks.
An instrument such as this will write off most of your debt at the beginning of the plan (although beware of the exaggerated claims made in some circles: it is rarely more than 60 or 65 per cent of unsecured debt which can be cancelled). Any good debt consolidation advice of this sort will make sure you get the best results with the lowest monthly repayments together with the highest proportion of debt write-off.
So complete the application form for impartial debt consolidation advice for your own personal circumstances.

Debt Consolidation Advice
Governments generally attempt to do their best to give some help to people who have suffered from debt in a number of ways. There are recognised schemes like The diverse individual and corporate voluntary arrangements to assist in the methods of both personal and corporate insolvency and to try to palliate what has always been a difficult time, and certainly debt consolidation advice is an integral part of the solution. The aim is intended to be towards safeguarding possessions where possible and also in safeguarding the property of individuals using legal instruments. This applies to both private property as much as the assets of businesses.
Debt consolidation advice instruments such as an IVA will be typically written out by a qualified insolvency practitioner and will be drafted especially to match the specific requirements. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all method to these procedures as all circumstances differ, while some differ exceedingly. The selected insolvency practitioner will draft the optimum features in accordance with the applicant's own particular situation and then ratify a schedule of payments to creditors which is generally over five years, though in certain situations this can differ.
The creditors are barred from getting in touch with the applicant now the debt consolidation advice programme has been started. Creditors are not allowed to pursue the debt, and if they do so they will be committing an offence and will be penalized, which may mean a fine or even taking away their trading licence if they are a debt purchasing firm. The applicant has this guarantee to protect against the phone calls and other intrusive means these companies use to intimidate their victims.
A great benefit of an arrangement of this kind is that it will immediately cut the debt by a large proportion. Usually this is as high as 60 per cent, even more sometimes. This huge reduction in debt burden makes a considerable difference and is one of the many things which differentiates this from a conventional management plan. Therefore anyone looking for help for debt relief would be best advised to apply for this over a standard debt relief programme.
Debt consolidation advice in the form of an IVA or similar procedure is a device and most would jump at the chance of applying for one of these because it is sanctioned by the law and discharges the holder from the entire debt when the term has been completed. It is a much more gentle response to long-term debt than other more draconian measures such as bankruptcy and carries none of bankruptcy's sting.
In order to be suitable for debt consolidation advice options such as an IVA the applicant must show proof of a nett income in excess of a certain minimum amount and have liabilities of not less than a certain amount and not more than a specified maxima, and such values may alter from one insolvency firm to the next. Normally income must cover the repayments after other bills have been paid such as mortgage payments and utility bills and council tax, etc. The average minimum amount of debt is around £2,000 although this figure can vary. A top value of £50,000 is given in a few cases, although by making use of a broker or intermediary the applicant may be shown best source of help to deal with their own individual circumstances.
