Today tax debt is one of the biggest problems, we can deal with. The IRS will always be behind you, if you have missed your payment of taxes and the IRS will not let you until you opt for tax debt relief. The IRS is always ready to take all your property and will not rest until it receives the full amount from you. The IRS has been given full authority to implement different tactics to collect taxes from non-payers including penalties and interest charged.

Among the many methods the IRS uses to collect taxes is filing a tax lien. This method is harsh and rough on the debtor, but it is effective because there is the risk of any property an individual might have. Filing an IRS tax lien means that the IRS takes full control of all property of the taxpayer until he / she is going to settle tax debts. This is one of the best solutions for the IRS authorities, as everyone is afraid of losing his assets and prefers to avoid this situation. Read more…

What is a Protected Trust Deed

Forming part of the Bankruptcy Scotland Act 1985, amended 01 April 2008, the Protected Trust Deed is a formal debt solution for people living in Scotland.

A Protected Trust Deed is designed to assist people with unsecured debts above £10,000 owed to more than 2 creditors, by reducing the monthly repayments and allowing them to only repay what they can afford.

The Protected Trust Deed has a fixed term, which is agreed before it begins, which is normally set to 36 months. After the Protected Trust Deed has completed successfully, the creditors are legally obliged to consider all outstanding debts as settled and any remaining debt is completely written-off. This gives the applicant a real alternative to bankruptcy and can lead to as much as 90% of the debt being forgiven, after costs have been deducted.

The Protected Trust Deed can only be proposed and administered by a licensed Insolvency Practitioner and, once the Protected Trust Deed has begun, the Insolvency Practitioner takes on the role of the Trustee. Read more…

An IVA, or individual Voluntary Arrangement, is a debt help solution for people with serious debt problems who living in the United Kingdom.

It forms a new agreement between the applicant and his unsecured creditors and is designed to consolidate the applicant’s unsecured debts into a single affordable monthly payment.

An IVA has a fixed time scale, which is agreed at the beginning of the arrangement (usually 5 years). During the IVA the applicant agrees to pay back what he can afford, but once the fixed term is completed, the applicant is considered to be legally debt free. Even if he hasn’t actually repaid all his debts the creditors are legally obliged to write off any outstanding balances.

Some other terms and conditions of the IVA are also beneficial to the applicant, such as a freeze on all interest charges and a stop on late payment fees once the IVA has been ratified. Cre Read more…

For many people, the thought of having to live life without a credit card would be almost impossible, after all, who knows when you are going to need your flexible friend.

But what do you do when your flexible friend isn’t so ‘flexible’ any more? Nowadays, informing someone they need formal debt help as a result of a spiralling debt problem is an all too regular occurence.

Quite simply, credit cards bring convenience to the modern household budget. They act as financial ‘shock absorbers’ or as the marketing slogan stated ‘a flexible friend’, allowing us to spread unexpected bills or higher than normal expenses across a few months, rather than having to strain our limited household budgets to breaking point.

But, in truth, it’s incredibly easy to become dependent on credit cards. It doesn’t take too much overspending each month to create a budget deficit. To make matters w Read more…

Barclaycard has today launched a new Platinum card with a two-year 0 per cent balance transfer period.

It is the first time a two-year balance transfer card has been launched in the UK market and it offers a four month longer 0 per cent transfer period than its nearest rival Halifax.

Halifax launched its 20 month deal last week which equalled Barclaycards previous market leading offer, however Barclaycard has hit back with the increased length.

And customers who take out the credit card will receive a better deal if they apply for the card directly through Barclaycard.co.uk. 

In addition to the two year 0 per cent offer, online customers will receive a 20 discount off the 2.8 per cent handling fee, if they transfer more than 3,000.

That means a customer transferring 3,000 would effectively be paying a low 2.1 per cent fee.
