Debt Management Programme

Debt Management Programme from The UK Insolvency Helpline

The UK Insolvency Helpline is a free service. The social policy team tend to advise clients to avoid any type of debt management programme that has a cost attached to it. Free debt management plans are available via The UK Insolvency Helpline which means that all the money you can afford to pay goes on paying your debts back instead of on monthly fees on the debt management programme.

An IVA is an alternative to an informal debt management programme

The key for those considering an IVA is to take professional advice early on. That is why The UK Insolvency Helpline have launched The IVA Helpline service which will only recommend the most suitable solution for clients debt management requirements.

If one of the dedicated debt counsellors feel that a debt management programme is not the best way to deal with your debts we will recommend an IVA for your debts.

An IVA, unlike a debt management programme is legally binding. The UK Insolvency Helpline has the largest IVA advice team in the UK and clients will be pleased to know that there are no charges for any debt management programme set up by the service.

Our main criticism of a debt management programme is sometimes the debt amounts can grow because they are not legally binging. When we set up a debt management programme on behalf of a client we will only recommend a credit industry approved plan so success levels are very high indeed.

Our debt management programme counsellors will carry a detailed money advice assessment and at the end of the analysis our counsellors will only recommend a debt management programme once we are sure it is the right option for you.

Whether our clients opt for a debt management programme, an IVA, or bankruptcy we will guarantee best advice is provided at all times.
