For people who have one or more county court judgement made against them, an administration order is a legally binding debt solution which allows you to pay your debt back based on what you can afford.

Bankruptcy is a legally binding debt solution. It is often seen as a last resort if other debt solutions fail or can’t be completed within a reasonable timeframe. It is a process whereby debt is written off.
Debt Consolidation Loan
A debt consolidation loan can be an effective way of paying off debt to multiple creditors and combining it into one affordable payment. This allows you to reduce your monthly amount at the cost of more interest.
Debt Management Plan
A Debt Management Plan is an agreement between you and your creditors to reduce your monthly payments. It isn’t a legally binding agreement but can be negotiated by you or a third party on your behalf.

Secured Debt Types
Logbook Loan Debt
A logbook loan involves borrowing a sum of money secured against your car. By signing up to a logbook loan, you are essentially passing the ownership of your car to the lender in exchange for money. However, you are still allowed to use the car.
Mortgage & Rent Debt
Most people who own their own home, do so with a mortgage. This is a long-term loan, often over the course of 25-30 years, which allows people to borrow sums large enough to cover most of the costs of buying a house.
Secured Loan Debt
When lending money to consumers, some companies like to have the security of attaching the loan to your assets. This gives them the peace of mind that, if something went wrong, they would be able to recover some or all the money through the sale of your property.
Hire Purchase Debt
Hire Purchase (HP) is a type of finance agreement that is often used to purchase motor vehicles or household goods e.g. white goods and furniture. When purchasing vehicles or goods through an HP agreement, you won’t actually own the goods until the last payment has been made and the debt has been cleared.
Unsecured Debt Types
Council Tax Debt
Council Tax is a yearly fee paid to your local authority, used to pay for all the public services that are in your local area. These include refuse collection, police and fire services, leisure facilities, educational facilities etc. Council tax can either be paid in twelve or ten monthly instalments: the latter giving you two months of payment holiday.
Credit Card Debt
A credit card is a convenient way to borrow money from a bank or lender via the use of a plastic card. You can make purchases in much the same way as when using a debit card. This spending accrues a debt which will have to be paid back at a later date.
Gambling Debt
In simple terms, gambling debt is when a person owes money to a bookmaker or casino. However, things can often become more serious than that, where an individual uses other means of credit to cover their gambling losses.
HMRC Debt
HMRC arrears is any debt amount that relates to Income Tax, National Insurance, VAT or Tax Credit Overpayments. These are ‘High-Priority’ debts and since the consequences can be severe, should be dealt with as soon as possible.
Overdraft Debt
An overdraft is an agreed amount of credit attached to a bank account. It allows your account to fall into a negative balance, where you have spent more than you had in the account. Provided you stay within the agreed limit, this facility should always be available. However, the bank does have the right to withdraw it at any time.
Payday Loan Debt
A Payday Loan allows you to borrow a small amount of money and pay it back once you have received your next wage. This helps you to cover a shortfall in money that may have occurred due to an emergency. They usually carry a high interest rate but can be applied for very quickly in comparison to other types of credit.
Personal Loan
A personal loan is when you borrow an amount of money from a bank, building society or other creditor, agreeing to pay it back over a set repayment term. You will be expected to make equal monthly repayments.
Student Loan Debt
With ever increasing tuition fees, rental prices and living costs, going to university is more expensive than ever. Due to these prohibitive costs, it is incredibly typical for a person to take out student loans and they should, by no means, be considered a bad thing. Unfortunately, for many, they are simply the price of a good education.
Catalogue Debt
Catalogues remain an extremely popular way of purchasing goods for many people, especially around those times of year when money can be short e.g. Christmas and Birthdays.
Store Card Debt
Credit through store cards works in a very similar way to a credit card, however it only authorises you to purchase goods from the store that issued the card. This facility allows you to buy now and pay later or to pay for your goods in instalments if you choose to.
Utility Bills Debt
Few things in life are more essential than your utilities and it’s not an overstatement to say that water, electricity and gas are three things few people can live without. Whether that’s for hydration and sanitation, heating or cooking, or even access to the internet and television, having any of these utilities taken away is unthinkable.
