Although I have advised in debt managment roles in the past I feel the benefit for the consumer is to now challenge his/her credit agreement. There is a 50 % the debt is unenforceable. Our legal team would wipe the debt off without affecting the clients credit file. Also an IVA or a Debt Management Plan can take between 3 to 20 years to complete and has a negative impact upon the clients credit history which obvioulsy deters lenders for future reference.
However if you want to get involved in Debt Management then you need the appropriate license from the Office of Fair Trading which allows you to 'debt adjust on a commercial scale'. Alot of time and patience is also needed as you need to get a database for all the creditors in the UK which is over 5000, and if you have got the time and man power I wish you all the best. If you would like an easier proporsition then I would suggest being an introducer for MonsterClaims. This would bring in 4k every 3 months with 1/16 of the work needed to fill the role of a debt managemnt advisor/ back office handler.
