Think Money says ‘bankruptcy best for some’

November 10, 2011 – 9:56 am

Think Money, a financial solutions company, responded to the latest Insolvency Service figures which showed a significant fall in bankruptcy orders in the third quarter of this year. It says that while numbers are declining, it’s still the most appropriate solution in certain circumstances.

Altogether, bankruptcy orders dropped by 32.1% in the third quarter compared with the same quarter in 2010. This contributed to an 11% drop in insolvencies overall over the same period.

Elsewhere, there was a greater take-up of the main alternatives to bankruptcy – IVAs (Individual Voluntary Arrangements) and Debt Relief Orders (DROs). The number of IVAs increased by 0.7% between the third quarter of last year and this year’s third quarter. There were 7.5% more new IVAs than in quarter two. DROs increased even more over 12 months – there were 7.6% more DROs in the third quarter compared with the same period last year.

A spokesperson for Think Money said:  ”While we urge struggling borrowers to consider all the options for tackling their debts, they certainly shouldn’t write bankruptcy off as a possible solution. Bankruptcy c

This plan is one of only two debt solutions that can write off part of your debt bankruptcy is the second option.

If 75% of creditors agree to the IVA proposal, it becomes legally binding. Interest on the debts is frozen and the debtor may not apply for more credit elsewhere. Unpaid debts at the end of this 60-month term are written off. Creditors may not make any claims against assets after the IVA has been agreed upon.

Investing legend Jim Rogers said that although the latest Eurozone deal for Greece is more generous than he expected, its not enough to solve Europes problems.

Politicians have delayed addressing the problem yet again, Rogers told Investment Week. It will come back in a few weeks or a few months and the world will still have the same problem, but this time only worse because the European Central Bank and other countries will be deeper in debt.

The deal European leaders hammered out on Thursday includes boosting the regions rescue fund to $1.4 trillion (1 trillion euros) and asking bondholders to take a voluntary 50% haircut on Greek debt.
