Now I am working with IDC-solutions, the experts who are on your side, and can safely guide you out of the worst of situations.
Debt Consultants
You have probably been approached by a number of Debt Consultants. I strongly recommend you at least try my FREE information service before making any firm commitment. I am an independent debt consultant, in a position to offer impartial advice and a wealth of experience. We are here to provide a solution which is in your best interests, and to help you protect your assets.
One further thought. Your situation may not be as desperate as it seems
• If there is a simple solution, we will point you to it.
• If a mortgage is the answer, we have the expertise and independence to find you the best possible deal.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
• If you do need insolvency advice, we will not throw you to the wolves, but will introduce you to our colleagues at IDC-solutions who, for a fixed, one-off fee will guide you through the whole process from beginning to end. They will stand up for your rights against any Insolvency Practitioners (IP’s) who may be appointed, or the Official Receiver (OR), they will help you to turn bailiffs away if necessary, and they will even attend Court on your behalf to defend repossession proceedings. With the correct help and support you should not have to lose your home, no matter what the circumstances.
Things to avoid with County Court Judgement or bankruptcy notices.
If you have been on the receiving end of a County Court Judgement or bankruptcy notice, you will be inundated with letters from companies promising to help you. These companies will probably be one of the following:
Bankruptcy Petition
• They may be solicitors offering to defend you against a bankruptcy petition. As such they will almost certainly have links to an Insolvency Practitioner, and you may find yourself directed into an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), whether that really is the best solution for you or not.
Debt Management Companies
• They may be Debt Management Companies (calling themselves professionals or consultants), offering to provide you with a solution that avoids a formal insolvency, and solve your problems by reducing your debts by 70% and negotiating affordable repayments. Unfortunately most of these companies do not provide a permanent solution, and will usually leave you vulnerable to legal action from any of your creditors. Just when you think it has all gone away you could be in for a nasty shock, and having paid what you can afford to these people, you will have nothing left with which to fend off that aggressive creditor who simply ignores the informal arrangement. It has taken us a long time to find a Debt Management Company that will not leave you exposed, but we do have every confidence in our colleagues at IDC- solutions to give you genuinely professional support.
Corporate Rescue Practitioners
• They may be corporate rescue practitioners, who will be able to help your company to improve it’s trading in the long term at a cost. For more immediate problems however, they will simply take a fee and refer you to a local Insolvency Practitioner whose main interest, and obligation, is to get the best deal for the creditors and not for you.
Mortgage Companies
• They may be a mortgage company looking to sell you a mortgage solution. As such they are unlikely to have the expertise or experience to identify any deeper problems or to suggest any alternative solutions should they be more appropriate. They may well also have a link to an Insolvency Practitioner which is where you will be referred if they can’t find you a solution.
Corporate Debt Consultants & Insolvency Advisers
• They may describe themselves as corporate debt consultants or insolvency advisers. These people will normally just be a front for an Insolvency Practitioner, because licenced Insolvency Practitioners are not allowed to advertise directly for business. Why is that? It is because they are appointed to extract the maximum amount of money to cover their fees and to pay to your creditors as much of your money as possible by getting their hands on your assets. It is not their business to preserve as much of your wealth as possible so that you can rebuild your life after it is all over, quite the reverse in fact.
What you need is a company that will appraise your situation and give you the advice you need to preserve as much as possible of your wealth for a low, fixed cost, whilst minimising the damage arising from what we hope will turn out to be temporary difficulties. (Temporary difficulties can easily turn into permanent poverty if you take the wrong advice).
How we do this for you is explained on the next page in “the process”.
