Suddenly debt is a four-letter word
'Reproduced from Tunbridge Wells Courier Article'
How the world has changed. For years, credit has been readily available and using it has become part of normal life for most people. Now, very sadly, more and more people find themselves in an increasingly difficult situation fuelled by:
- The rising costs of living and family needs.
- Credit becoming more difficult to obtain.
- The collapse of the ‘sub-prime’ mortgage market, which now makes it extremely difficult for people with credit history problems to obtain finance.
- Lower property values, coupled with lenders requiring more security, creating less ability to consolidate debts by remortgage.
- Incomes under strain through reduction in hours, overtime, bonuses and even redundancies.
So unwittingly, and maybe for the first time in their lives, many people are in totally unfamiliar waters. It is embarrassing, worrying and they have very little idea what they can do.
But things can be done and local help is at hand - enter Local Debt Solutions, specialists who bring highly personal and confidential help to people in this area of Kent.
Who are Local Debt Solutions?
Local people Martin Greensted, Ian Taylor, Maurice Stroud and Steve Whitehead formed Local Debt Solutions in 2008. Between them, they have many years experience in the mortgage and loans market and it is a natural progression to extend this to provide access to debt advice.
How does the service work?
Whether the worry over the debt gradually builds up over the months or is triggered by a sudden event such as redundancy, most people find themselves in a position they have never been in before, or ever thought they would be. They are in need of a swift, unbiased and sympathetic analysis and explanation of what options are available to them to get their finances back under control as quickly as possible.
The first stage is a totally confidential and very constructive meeting (or telephone call if preferred) with Martin, Ian, Maurice or Steve, who explain the range of remedies that can be applied. Then, by completing a detailed fact find, these are narrowed down to the specific options most suitable for the individuals’ particular circumstances.
Having chosen the best route, the agreed plan is then implemented. Local Debt Solutions continues to monitor the scheme, providing a local contact until the debts are eliminated and future finance needs can re-addressed. The advantage of such a professional and confidential service is that the best route is chosen and the individuals are never pressed into heavy debt recovery plans, such as bankruptcy, which may not be in their best interests. The close relationship with the mortgage services of the Local Debt Solutions partners also ensures that full consideration is given to all possible options, until financial stability is restored, and from there on if required.
