£58,000 of debt - but can't do an IVA.

| Now paying: £300/month | |

His assets are more than his debts, but he can't pay 11 creditors from a monthly income of £1,060. An IVA is not possible as his creditors would never agreed to forgive any debt when he could repay them in full by selling his property. The client does not want to remortage as he has recently become self employed and does not want to risk his home if that does not go to plan. Debt management will never pay off this debt, but it gives our client some respite from his creditors while he focuses on building his business without the fear or court action or losing his home. static link to this case study: DMCaseStudy100.asp |
