Breaking the Stigma: Seeking Debt Help

Debt is a reality for millions of people in the UK, yet seeking debt help is often clouded by stigma and shame. Many individuals suffer in silence, believing they are alone in their financial struggles. At mydebt-plan.co.uk, we believe it’s time to break the stigma and start an open conversation about debt help. Understanding that debt is a common challenge and that support is available can be the first step towards financial freedom.

Why Is There a Stigma Around Debt Help?

For generations, financial difficulties have been seen as a personal failing rather than a common life hurdle. Social media and societal pressures often paint a picture of perfect finances, making it even harder for those struggling to admit they need debt help. The fear of judgment or embarrassment can prevent people from reaching out, causing stress, anxiety, and worsening financial situations.

But the truth is, debt can happen to anyone. Job loss, unexpected expenses, illness, or even just the rising cost of living can push people into financial difficulty. There’s no shame in needing debt help it’s a responsible and proactive step towards regaining control.

Credit Score

Credit Score Pop Up Wording : An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is a formal agreement with creditors to repay a portion of your debts over time, but it does have an impact on your credit score and it will be difficult to obtain further credit whilst on an IVA. Once an IVA is approved, it is recorded on your credit report and will typically remain there for six years from the date it starts.
However, it’s important to note this is the case for most debt solutions and your credit score will likely already have been affected by being in debt in the first place.
Once your IVA is complete you will get a fresh start to begin rebuilding your credit rating.

Fees

IVA costs are charged for the preparation of your proposal and the administration of the arrangement for the full term (usually 5 years) these costs are charged from the monthly contributions you make into the IVA and are not in addition. Costs will only be recovered on approval of your arrangement and once you commence making payments to it. The fees for preparation of the proposal to creditors and calling the meeting for creditors to vote on its approval are called nominees fees, the fees for running the arrangement once approved are called supervisors fees. There are also some expenses incurred in the running of the arrangement such as the registration fee and the statutory insurance that needs to be taken by law, these are called disbursements. For our arrangements, the total of all of these is £3,650 although this may be adjusted by creditors when they vote on whether to accept. No matter what the end total of costs come to, you can be rest assured that these will be taken from the monthly payment we agree with you.
