BANKRUPTCY

Bankruptcy is a form of insolvency for people who unable to repay their debts. You will lose control of your assets but you will no longer be responsible for your debts although you may need to pay back what you can afford through an Income Payment Order (IPO) for 3 years.

Fee Charging
When deciding on whether to choose a charity or professional company it is worth bearing in mind that you usually get what you pay for. A charity will not be as fast and efficient as a professional company (although not all professional companies provide great levels of customer service!) Check for feedback on forums or on the web before deciding who to go with.

Interest Rate Negotiating
The MOST important thing in determining how long a debt management plan will last - is not the fees - but the negotiating of interest rates down to 0. This will be the biggest determining factor in whether your debts go down (if they are not negotiated properly they may go up!). You should ask yourself which company you think will do the best job of negotiating with your creditors on your behalf.

Charities
Most of the debt charities are funded by creditors. These are the same creditors that you owe money to. Creditors fund these charities because they want you to pay as much money to them as possible without you doing an IVA or going bankrupt. However, there is a strong possibility that the charity is not going to be negotiating very strongly for interest rates to be frozen (as the charity is run by the creditors!).

So Glad We Did It - by , 19/09/2012
5/ 5stars
I have to admit to being less than keen to investigate the idea of an IVA as we had already gone down the route of a DMP with another company but this hadn't worked out. Hubby pushed for an IVA and started the ball rolling, however once we had started the process i soon realised how beneficial this would be. Andy Davie at Vincent Bond was fantastic, he went through the whole process with us fully and explained everyhing thoroughly. We are now almost 2 years in and haven't looked back.
