What can we do for you

We are aware of the action that creditors can take against debtors and can explain this fully to our clients and help prevent it. We can also advise on several options open to clients including the pros and cons of bankruptcy, Trust Deeds and consolidation loans.

We are able to assist in checking agreements, contracts and early settlement rebates and we are also able to report any illegal lending practices to the Office of Fair Trading

We will help:

  • Maximise income
  • Minimise expenditure
  • Check liability for debts
  • Get interest frozen/admin charges stopped
  • Negotiate on your behalf
  • Apply for benefits
  • Keep things in perspective
  • Give advice on debt recovery and court action
  • Provide support/listening ear
