Successful
debt management can help get your finances on track and
stave off the threat of bankruptcy.
What is Debt
Consolidation?
Debt
consolidation is the process where you consolidate your
existing debts into one manageable monthly repayment.
With debt
consolidation, you restructure your current debt
problems into one monthly repayment (generally at a
reduced rate of interest and spread over a longer period
of time). The alternative to
debt consolidation is to
continue struggling to meet the monthly repayments of
multiple debts, constantly creating a bigger problem.
What is Debt Counselling?
Debt
counselling is a means of gaining a fresh, expert
perspective on your debt problems and receiving
invaluable feedback on how best to address your dire
financial situation.
Debt
counselling involves an objective, knowledgeable and
helpful individual - experienced in debt and finance
matters - appraising your financial situation and
offering feedback on where you stand with regards to
cash flow, debt and overall finance.
What is Bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy
is brought about when an individual is unable to manage
their debt. For a debtor or creditor to apply for a
bankruptcy order, the debt must be at least £750 and not
be disputed by either party.
The most
common way to bring on bankruptcy is to ignore your debt
problems. Instead of dealing with debts and creditors,
doing nothing to arrest your debt problems will almost
inevitably lead to personal bankruptcy.
What is
Credit Repair?
Credit
repair is the process of rectifying inaccuracies
contained within your credit file, thus improving your
credit rating and allowing you access to the levels of
credit you deserve. |
