What IsPPI?<br />

PPI stands for 'Payment Protection Insurance'. It's designed to cover<br />

your loan or credit card repayments in case you face some financial<br />

crisis in terms of an accident, sickness or unemployment.<br />

PPIs has been widely mis-sold, and you could even have it without<br />

your knowledge. If you were mis-sold PPI, you may be able to<br />

reclaim £1,000s.<br />

What I Mis Sold PPI?<br />

Were you told it was compulsory?<br />

Consumers are oten told by<br />

sales agents that they must buy a policy<br />

from the same provider as the loan in order to be<br />

accepted for the product. This is mis-selling. You can<br />

tell if you were mis sold if the below conditions<br />

applies to you.<br />

1. Didn't make it clear the policy was optional or tell<br />

you about any cooling of period.<br />

2. Implied or stated it would be more expensive if you<br />

didn't take the insurance.<br />

3. Implied or insisted you take out their policy to<br />

qualify for the product or help with your application.<br />

4. Was very pushy when selling the product, so you<br />

felt you could not say no.<br />

5. Would not let you continue with the application if<br />

you did not sign the insurance agreement as well.<br />

If one of the above applies, then go to the how to<br />

reclaim section.<br />

•A £5,000 loan for 5 years at 5%<br />

should be £95 a month.<br />

10% should be £130 a month.<br />

•A £20,000 loan for 3 years at<br />

20% should be £740 a month.<br />

Very Big money!<br />

You could get<br />

thousands of pounds<br />

depending upon the<br />

type of reclaim you<br />

are looking for. It's<br />

possible to estimate<br />

how much the<br />

insurance has cost to<br />

see what you can<br />

reclaim. It then<br />

depends whether you're entitled<br />

to the full amount, or just part of<br />

it.<br />

One way of doing this is to work<br />

out what your monthly loan<br />

payment should have been. If you<br />

were paying more, it's likely PPI<br />

was included. You can compare<br />

the table to get a vague idea of<br />

how much you can get.<br />

Packaged Bank Account Fees<br />

Do you pay a monthly fee or paid a<br />

monthly fee for your bank account? Have<br />

a Packaged Account that you were<br />

logged into? You may be able to claim<br />

£100s or £1,000s!!<br />

Are packaged<br />

accounts right<br />

for me?<br />

Packaged accounts can be brilliant,<br />

but they can also be useless. These<br />

accounts are where you pay a<br />

monthly fee for your account in<br />

return for benefits, most oten<br />

bundled insurance<br />

policies. If you've<br />

chosen one based<br />

on a rational<br />

decision,<br />

it's<br />

probably a<br />

good<br />

account as<br />

they can be the<br />

cheapest way to get<br />

many types of<br />

insurance.<br />

But if you were logged one by a<br />

pushy sales agent, you could be<br />

owed serious cash, as banks have<br />

been found to have systemically mis-sold<br />

them.<br />

HOW DO I MAKE A CLAIM?<br />

if you have been mis sold a Packaged Bank Account and<br />

want a reclaim for it, call the Financial Ombudsman Service<br />

or seek help through a financial advisor to know whats best<br />

for you.<br />

mis-sold?<br />

Examples of how<br />

you might have<br />

been mis-sold<br />

include:<br />

How much<br />

can I get?<br />

If you're mis-sold<br />

you should get the<br />

fees you paid back,<br />

plus interest. So<br />

quite simply,<br />

if you paid<br />

£15/month<br />

for two years you<br />

should get £360 back<br />

(£15 x <strong>24</strong> months)<br />

plus interest.<br />

1. You were signed up without being told.<br />

2. You weren't told you could have a free<br />

bank account instead.<br />

3. You were told having one would<br />

improve your credit score.<br />

4. You were told you would get<br />

‘unbeatable’ deals on other financial<br />

products or services by taking out this<br />

account but found you could get them<br />

cheaper as a new customer.<br />

5. You were told you had to get a<br />

packaged account in order to access<br />

other products such as a loan or<br />

mortgage.<br />

6. You were signed up to an account and<br />

your bank knew you wouldn't be eligible<br />

to claim on one or more of the benefits -<br />

eg. you were too old to be able to use the<br />

travel insurance.<br />

7. Your bank or building society failed to<br />

tell you that you were no longer eligible<br />

for one or more of the benefits - eg. you<br />

had passed the maximum age limit to<br />

claim on the travel insurance.<br />

Flight Delay<br />

Compensation<br />

Up to £510/person,<br />

back to 2010<br />

If you're delayed by more than three hours or your<br />

light's cancelled, under EU rule 261/2004 you are oten<br />

entitled to between £110 and £510 in compensation –<br />

and it's possible to claim this for free<br />

Big money in light delays!!!<br />

The doors for mass<br />

compensation for long light<br />

delays were lung open in<br />

October 2012 following a<br />

landmark ruling by the European<br />

Court of Justice. It clarified that<br />

passengers were entitled to<br />

compensation for long delays (as<br />

long as they met the set criteria)<br />

following a challenge by some<br />

airlines. Since then, passengers<br />

who've been delayed have been<br />

fighting to get that compensation<br />

has helped lead the charge.<br />

Over 480,000 people have<br />

downloaded our free light<br />

delay reclaiming letters – and<br />

we launched a free online<br />

reclaim tool to make the<br />

process even easier in August<br />

2015.<br />

Not everyone has won<br />

compensation. Some airlines<br />

have been trying to block<br />

people from claiming for<br />

lights that were over two years<br />

old, and for unforeseeable<br />

technical faults, although<br />

courts have ruled against this<br />

at the end of 2014 and in<br />

September 2015. 12


Flight Delay Compensation Rules<br />

If you booked a light that departed from Europe or was with a<br />

European airline, you might have rights under EU law if your<br />

light is delayed or cancelled. For the EU law to apply, one or both<br />

of the following must apply:<br />

• Your light is departing from the UK, European Union (EU),<br />

Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.<br />

• You're lying with a UK or EU airline to somewhere in the UK, EU,<br />

Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.<br />

BREXIT<br />

IMPACT<br />

The light delay regulations above<br />

come from the EU and so it's likely<br />

they'll stop when the UK leaves the<br />

union. Nothing is confirmed yet<br />

though and we won't be exiting for at<br />

least two years, probably more, so in<br />

the meantime, everything here still<br />

stands.<br />

13


30% of people have<br />

experienced delays or<br />

cancellations with<br />

their light<br />

Compensation for delays is only due<br />

on lights arriving over 3 hrs or more<br />

late. How long the delay determines<br />

how much you could be entitled to<br />

Crucially, this is a straight rule. It's<br />

about when you arrive, not when you<br />

leave.<br />

So if you're on a light that takes of<br />

four hours late but lands 2 hrs 55 mins<br />

late, you're not over the 3-hr delay<br />

needed to be eligible for<br />

compensation.<br />

Your arrival time is actually deemed<br />

to be when the plane opens at least<br />

one of its doors, not when it touches<br />

down. This follows a ruling by the<br />

European Court of Justice in<br />

September 2014, ater Germanwings<br />

unsuccessfully tried to argue that as<br />

its plane had touched down just less a<br />

than 3-hrs late its passenger had no<br />

right to compensation.<br />

Get up to<br />

£600 per<br />

passenger in<br />

compensation<br />

The 3-hr rule is also about<br />

compensation for a delay, not a<br />

refund of the light ticket cost, so<br />

the amount you are due is fixed<br />

dependent on the delay length<br />

and distance travelled. You can<br />

use the Web Flyer site to check the<br />

distance of your light.<br />

Compensation is also per person,<br />

so for a family of four, quadruple it<br />

(although where a passenger<br />

travels free of charge – a child, for<br />

example – you cannot claim). BUT<br />

compensation is based in euros,<br />

meaning the amount you'll get in<br />

sterling will luctuate, depending<br />

on the exchange rate at the time<br />

the payment is made.<br />

Holiday Sickness Claims<br />

Have you sufered from food<br />

poisoning or sickness while abroad?<br />

Claim with Confidence<br />

Holidays are an important time for all of<br />

us. They are a time to relax and recharge<br />

the batteries. Whilst visiting another<br />

country, we have a right to expect the<br />

hotels that we stay in to maintain the<br />

highest standards of health and safety.<br />

Sadly, this is not always the case and<br />

illness can oten result. An illness arising<br />

out of a stay in a hotel<br />

will not only ruin your<br />

holiday, but can also<br />

result in serious long<br />

term<br />

health<br />

problems.<br />

If you were taken ill<br />

on a package holiday<br />

due to food poisoning<br />

or were sick because<br />

the swimming pool at<br />

your hotel was filthy<br />

you can claim<br />

compensation.<br />

<strong>16</strong>


Claim<br />

for?<br />

Slips & Trips<br />

Slips and trips around the<br />

swimming pool are another common<br />

cause of injury and again. If you or a<br />

member of your party has been injured as<br />

the result of an accident in/around your<br />

hotel, they could be eligible for<br />

compensation if the hotel , the tour<br />

operator is responsible.<br />

Food Poisoning<br />

Outbreaks of food poisoning or norovirus in<br />

hotels or resorts or on cruise ships can oten afect<br />

hundreds or thousands of people during their<br />

holiday. This is particularly true on board cruise ships<br />

or at all inclusive hotels and package holidays where<br />

guests are eating at bufet-style restaurants.<br />

Stomach upsets in resorts in countries such as<br />

Egypt or Dominican Republic can lead to<br />

compensation payments from the tour<br />

Bedbugs<br />

operator or hotel.<br />

Bedbugs are one-holiday souvenir<br />

you definitely don't want to<br />

take home with you. If you book a<br />

package holiday and unlucky<br />

enough to stay with bedbugs,<br />

you can claim for compensation.<br />

17


There are a number of diferent regulations which may help you<br />

when making a claim, depending on the particular nature of your<br />

accident or illness.<br />

If you book a package holiday through a UK tour operator, most of<br />

the major parts of your trip will be covered by The Package Travel,<br />

Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992.<br />

These regulations say that the tour operator is responsible<br />

for all the diferent parts of your package holiday. This<br />

means that your transport, accommodation, and food<br />

whilst on holiday are all covered by British legislation.<br />

To make a claim under the Package Holidays Regulations 1992, you<br />

have to be able to prove the tour operator showed a lack of<br />

reasonable care and skill in the supply of your holiday. The<br />

regulations say the expected standard of skill and care will be<br />

considered in relation to the reasonable standards in the country<br />

where the accident happened.<br />

These regulations ensures successful claims for clients who have had<br />

complaints about food poisoning and bedbugs whilst on holiday.<br />

For personal injuries sustained whilst in a carriage by sea, for<br />

example on board a ferry, you can make a claim under The Athens<br />

Convention 1974. If however you sustain an injury from an<br />

accident whilst travelling by air, you will need<br />

to claim under The Montréal Convention<br />

1999.<br />

18


How long it takes to settle your<br />

travel claim will depend on the<br />

individual circumstances of<br />

your case.<br />

It is important to note that<br />

when making a claim for an<br />

illness or injury that happened<br />

outside of the UK, we have to<br />

give the other side six months<br />

to investigate and respond to<br />

the question of liability.<br />

In a straightforward case<br />

where the other side admits<br />

they were at fault, around 12<br />

months is the typical amount<br />

of time it takes to settle these<br />

types of case.<br />

There are so many company<br />

willing to help you out with<br />

this too. All you need to do is<br />

find the right people. Most<br />

companies provide a no win<br />

no fee service, also known as<br />

a Conditional Fee Agreement<br />

(CFA)<br />

claim?<br />

19


How much<br />

compensation you can<br />

expect to receive for<br />

your pain and sufering<br />

depends on the severity<br />

of your illness.?<br />

The Judicial College Guidelines are referred to by the courts and provide<br />

an indication of the lump sum a person can expect to be awarded for<br />

their illness. In 2011 the Guidelines for food poisoning which apply to<br />

foreign holiday illness compensation claims are:<br />

• £31,075 to £42,460 – food poisoning which has a significant efect on<br />

the individual's domestic and social life and impacts on their work. This<br />

is the most severe type of food poisoning and the individual will have<br />

required hospital admittance for a lengthy period of time.<br />

• £7,700 to £15,510 – food poisoning, such as salmonellosis, which<br />

largely resolves ater four weeks but leaves some symptoms lasting<br />

typically a few years.<br />

• £3,190 to £7,700 – a complete recovery from food poisoning within<br />

two years. The individual is likely to have been admitted to hospital for<br />

a couple of days and will have sufered symptoms including painful<br />

stomach cramps, significant changes to bowel habits and lethargy.<br />

• £737 to £3,190 – the individual may have sufered from severe<br />

stomach cramps and profuse diarrhea for a number of days but will<br />

have made a full recovery within four to six weeks.<br />

ent to over £1,000.<br />

Spending Too<br />

Much On Your<br />

Utility Bills?<br />

Don't get caught out by<br />

rising energy prices<br />

Energy companies are having<br />

to pay more and more for the<br />

gas they sell on to us because<br />

trade gas prices are rising.<br />

onto us, and our energy.<br />

Bills get more expensive.<br />

Now is the perfect time to<br />

switch to a better deal, so you<br />

don't get caught out.<br />

Some households could save<br />

as much as £670 a year*, just<br />

by switching to a better<br />

energy deal.<br />

It's only a matter of time before<br />

they pass these rising costs<br />

21


Switching is the quickest<br />

and easiest way to save on<br />

energy bills<br />

Ater a series of years in which<br />

energy bills have been cut or<br />

remained frozen, costs are tipped to<br />

rise this winter. Some small<br />

suppliers have already raised prices<br />

and the big guns are expected to<br />

push through some hikes too. The<br />

good news is that those who switch<br />

are still likely to be able to save<br />

money, and choose better customer<br />

service or green energy.<br />

Too many customers are sat on<br />

standard variable tarifs wasting a<br />

collective £1.7billion a year,<br />

according to a recent report from<br />

the Competition and Markets<br />

Authority.<br />

Meanwhile falling wholesale prices<br />

are finally filtering through and<br />

smaller energy suppliers are<br />

rocking the market, forcing<br />

increasingly competitive deals.<br />

This means there has never been a<br />

better time to switch to a new<br />

provider and save money on fuel<br />

bills. Those stuck on expensive<br />

legacy deals could stand to save as<br />

much as £300 a year.<br />

Switch<br />

&<br />

Save<br />

The CMA says<br />

switching tarif<br />

is a<br />

well-established<br />

way to secure<br />

big savings:<br />

"There are<br />

already plenty<br />

of competitive<br />

deals out there.<br />

What we need<br />

to do is persuade<br />

customers to<br />

take them up."<br />

22


Stephen Murray,<br />

MoneySuperMarket's<br />

energy expert, said:<br />

"While we wait for the<br />

measures to be<br />

determined and<br />

implemented, it is worth<br />

restating that savings<br />

running into hundreds of<br />

pounds a year are<br />

available NOW to those<br />

who switch from a<br />

standard rate to a<br />

competitive fixed rate<br />

tarif."<br />

It says they<br />

should be able to<br />

negotiate exclusive<br />

deals with suppliers<br />

and contact customers<br />

with special ofers. The<br />

CMA also wants a<br />

broader spread of ofers<br />

on the market to increase<br />

choice and lexibility. Its<br />

provisional decision on<br />

remedies for the energy<br />

market are open for the<br />

response, with a further<br />

report due in the summer.<br />

Why should I<br />

Comparing energy prices let you<br />

find the gas and electricity tarifs<br />

that could save you big money<br />

of your bills. Customers could<br />

save up to £670* by changing<br />

their provider. Running a price<br />

comparison, on a site such as<br />

easy.<br />

Road Trafic<br />

Accident Claims<br />

TAXI<br />

FREEPIK<br />

Road trafic accident claims<br />

can be made depending on the<br />

type of accident that has<br />

happened. Such claims are put<br />

in place to protect car drivers,<br />

pedestrians, passengers,<br />

cyclists and bikers, and road<br />

trafic accident claims can be<br />

made for both direct and<br />

personal injuries such as;<br />

Whiplash injury, Airbag<br />

injury, Seat belt injury, Child<br />

restraints injury.<br />

A road accident can occur<br />

because of numerous reasons.<br />

No matter what the reasons<br />

are, however, you must be able<br />

to prove that the person you<br />

are making the claim against<br />

was in the wrong. Most car<br />

accidents occur mainly<br />

because of;<br />

• Negligence – this can range from mobile phone<br />

use, eating or drinking, changing music in the car,<br />

to alcohol or drug consumption while driving.<br />

• Weather conditions – Road accidents can occur<br />

in many instances due to perverse weather<br />

conditions such as snow, rainy weather and icy<br />

roads.<br />

• Recklessness – driving with no concern for trafic<br />

signs is another major cause of road accidents.<br />

Speeding too can be termed as recklessness and<br />

distractions in or outside of the car can also lead to<br />

road mishaps.<br />

• Poor road maintenance – poor roads are another<br />

leading cause of road accidents. Construction,<br />

poor road signs and potholes are examples of poor<br />

road maintenance.<br />

• Car malfunction – cars will in most cases have a<br />

system failure system where one of the devices<br />

may have stopped functioning. Common<br />

equipment that may fail in the car include the<br />

brakes, poor road tyre traction and steering wheel<br />

malfunction.<br />

28


MAKING A ROAD<br />

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CLAIM<br />

As with all personal injury compensation claims, you would<br />

need to prove that another person was responsible for your<br />

personal injury (in this case the driver of the vehicle you were<br />

travelling in or the third party driver).<br />

To help your case, you should take names, addresses and telephone<br />

numbers of any witnesses to the accident and take photographs<br />

of the accident locus if possible. If the third party driver has no<br />

valid insurance, leaves the scene or admits to driving a stolen<br />

vehicle, you should contact the Police immediately and<br />

report the incident. If you are intending to claim<br />

expenses such as prescription costs and<br />

travelling expenses, remember to keep<br />

receipts as evidence.<br />

Here in the UK, it is advisable to seek legal representation to<br />

help you through the claim. Since most people usually<br />

have car insurance, the claim should not be difficult to complete.<br />

Before taking up the legal service option, ensure you understand<br />

how much the process may cost.<br />

How Much Can I Get?<br />

Compensation for each claim varies.Personal injuries can range from<br />

anything under a £1,000 to over £200,000 depending on the severity of the<br />

injury. Whiplash injury compensation can vary between less than £800 to<br />

£5,000 or over while airbag injury compensation can start from £2,500.<br />

Pension<br />

Reviews<br />

A Profile Financial pension review will ensure you're getting<br />

the very best return on the investment you've made<br />

Pension reviews have a terrible reputation right now. You may have been<br />

bombarded by dozens of cold-callers ofering a free pension review. And<br />

you're right to be sceptical. Many people have been mis-sold pensions via this<br />

tactic. So many, that the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is reviewing how<br />

to apply for compensation if you think you did receive bad advice.<br />

But, ironically, this has increased the need for pension reviews. More people<br />

than ever before are in need of legitimate, independent pension guidance. So<br />

how can you ensure you're getting the best advice?<br />

There's Pension Wise which is a UK government-backed service to talk people<br />

through their pension options. So you can trust you're getting impartial<br />

guidance from them.<br />

How Do I Get Started?<br />

Pension plans like all others have so many companies that can<br />

guide you step-by-step. Just go online and get started.<br />

LIFE INSURANCE<br />

Life insurance is one of the most<br />

selless things you'll ever buy. It's<br />

about making sure that the people<br />

you love the most are well looked ater<br />

should the worst happen.<br />

Who's Covered?<br />

57%<br />

Taking out life insurance could ensure<br />

that your family keep the home<br />

they've grown up in, or that your<br />

children go to university, even if you're<br />

not around to help with the expense.<br />

The peace of mind it provides means<br />

you can get on and enjoy life without<br />

worrying, and it doesn't have to break<br />

the bank. Life insurance can cost as<br />

little as £18.29 a month.<br />

Types of term<br />

insurance<br />

Level-Term insurance pays out a<br />

fixed lump sum if you die during the<br />

policy term. This lump sum doesn't<br />

change over time, so you know<br />

exactly what any dependents will be<br />

let with in the event that you die.<br />

What type of life<br />

insurance policy<br />

should I buy? Most<br />

people have two main<br />

protection needs that<br />

can be covered by life<br />

insurance (oten<br />

known as life<br />

assurance):<br />

• Paying of large<br />

debts such as your<br />

mortgage<br />

• Family protection,<br />

where you leave<br />

behind money for<br />

your family to live on<br />

ater you've died.<br />

Types of term<br />

insurance<br />

Get in Touch @ www.impospublication.com<br />

Increasing term insurance This<br />

type of life insurance policy is<br />

designed to combat the erosion of our<br />

money's purchasing power each year<br />

due to inlation, so that the sum<br />

insured maintains its real value<br />

throughout the term. The sum<br />

insured either increases by a fixed<br />

amount each year, or rises in line with<br />

the Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure<br />

of inlation.<br />

Decreasing cover insurance If<br />

you are looking for life insurance to<br />

cover a debt that will gradually<br />

reduce over time, such as a repayment<br />

mortgage, then decreasing term<br />

insurance is worth considering. With<br />

this kind of cover, any pay-out also<br />

reduces over time, which means the<br />

premiums are lower than for level<br />

term insurance.<br />

IN SERIOUS DEBT<br />

GET A DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN!<br />

A Debt Management Plan is<br />

an agreement between you<br />

and your creditors to pay all<br />

of your debts.<br />

Debt management plans are<br />

usually used when either:<br />

1. You can only aford to pay<br />

creditors a small amount<br />

each month<br />

2. You have debt problems<br />

but will be able to make<br />

repayments in a few months<br />

3. You can arrange a plan with<br />

your creditors yourself or through<br />

a licensed debt management<br />

company for a fee. If you arrange<br />

this with a company<br />

4. You make regular payments to<br />

the company<br />

5. The company shares the money<br />

out between your creditors<br />

33


ADVANTAGES<br />

1. Swit to implement You will normally be able to get a DMP<br />

up and running very quickly. You can start making reduced<br />

payments straight away without waiting for the agreement of<br />

your creditors. This will allow you to get back in control of your<br />

finances immediately.<br />

2. Afordable Repayments Your monthly repayments are<br />

reduced to afordable amounts which fit within your disposable<br />

income.<br />

3. Flexibility A DMP is an extremely lexible debt management<br />

solution. If during the plan you need to increase or decrease the<br />

amount you pay you can do this at any time.<br />

4. Home equity does not have to be touched Once you start a<br />

DMP you will be under no legal obligation to try and<br />

remortgage your property and release equity to help repay your<br />

debts.<br />

34


DISADVANTAGES<br />

1. No debt is written of<br />

If you start a DMP your creditors will not automatically agree to<br />

write of any of the debt you owe.<br />

2. No Guarantee that Interest will be frozen<br />

Your creditors are not under any legal obligation to agree to your<br />

proposed DMP payments. They cannot refuse to accept the<br />

payments you make but they can refuse to suspend interest or<br />

late payment charges.<br />

3. No legal protection from your creditors The Plan is an<br />

informal agreement. This means that the plan does not ofer you<br />

any legal protection from your creditors.<br />

4. Negative efect on your<br />

credit rating<br />

Once you start a DMP<br />

your credit rating will<br />

be negatively<br />

afected.<br />

GETTING RID OF YOUR<br />

DEBTS GOT EVEN EASIER<br />

Don't think a Debt<br />

Management Plan is for<br />

you?<br />

Enter an INDIVIDUAL<br />

VOLUNTARY<br />

ARRANGEMENT!<br />

An Individual Voluntary<br />

Arrangement (IVA) is an<br />

agreement with your<br />

creditors to pay all or part of your<br />

debts. You agree to make regular<br />

payments to an insolvency<br />

practitioner, who will divide this<br />

money between your creditors.<br />

An Individual Voluntary<br />

Arrangement (IVA) normally last 5<br />

years (in some cases 6 years) ater<br />

which all Your Remaining debts<br />

are written of.<br />

An IVA can give you more control<br />

of your assets than bankruptcy.<br />

37


What are the advantages of an IVA?<br />

$ $ $<br />

$<br />

1. Afordable - An IVA involves the debtor repaying<br />

an afordable monthly repayment, based on what<br />

they can reasonable pay ater essential expenses<br />

are taken into account.<br />

2. Stability - As the repayments made are<br />

calculated ater essential expenses are accounted<br />

for, there is no danger of not being able to pay the<br />

essential bills or buy food for the week. Unless<br />

there is a significant change in financial<br />

circumstances, the repayments should always<br />

remain the same.<br />

3. Less Stress - As the IVA is a legally binding<br />

agreement, once it has begun, creditors can no<br />

longer chase the debtor for outstanding money<br />

(provided the repayments are being kept.)This<br />

means there will be no more phone calls or visits<br />

from debt collectors.<br />

4. Financial freedom - by being able to budget for<br />

the IVA, it allows greater financial control, as well<br />

as complete debt freedom once the IVA is<br />

successfully completed.<br />

5. Security - One of the key benefits of an IVA,<br />

unlike bankruptcy, is that the individual should not<br />

have to sell their home. This is because any<br />

mortgage repayments are included in the essential<br />

expenditure calculations.<br />

38


What are the disadvantages<br />

of an IVA?<br />

Restricted Banking Facilities.<br />

Due to the IVA, you will not be allowed<br />

to have a bank account with an<br />

overdrat, a credit card or Cheque book.<br />

Duration of the IVA<br />

Unlike Bankruptcy, which usually lasts<br />

for only 12 months, an IVA oten lasts<br />

for 5-6 years, although any outstanding<br />

debt ater this time will usually be<br />

cleared.<br />

Re-mortgage<br />

While an individual in an IVA will<br />

generally not be required to sell their<br />

home, they may be expected to<br />

re-mortgage in order to release equity.<br />

This would normally be expected to<br />

occur within the last year of the IVA<br />

arrangement.<br />

Credit record<br />

As with Bankruptcy, an IVA will be<br />

recorded on an individual's credit<br />

record for a period of 6 years. This is<br />

from the start of the IVA, so even if the<br />

IVA only lasts for 5 years, there will still<br />

be a period where the IVA could afect<br />

the ability to get further credit.<br />

Marriage tax allowance: Get<br />

a tax break worth up to £835<br />

Are you married or in a civil<br />

partnership? If so you may be<br />

entitled to a tax break<br />

called the marriage tax<br />

allowance. Yet 3.2 million of<br />

the 4.2 million eligible<br />

couples are still missing out.<br />

It's free money, so worth<br />

checking.<br />

Married Couple's Allowance could reduce your tax bill by<br />

between £322 and £835.50 a year. You can claim Married<br />

Couple's Allowance if all the following apply:<br />

• You're married or in a civil partnership<br />

• You're living with your spouse or civil partner<br />

• One of you was born before 6 April 1935<br />

For marriages before 5 December 2005, the husband's income is<br />

used to work out Married Couple's Allowance. For marriage and<br />

civil partnerships ater this date, it's the income of the highest<br />

earner. Married Couple's Allowance could reduce your tax bill<br />

each year if you're married or in a civil partnership.<br />

For the 2015 to 20<strong>16</strong> tax year, it could cut your tax bill by between<br />

£322 and £835.50 a year.<br />

44


So, in a nutshell, one of you<br />

must be a non-taxpayer and<br />

one of you must be a basic-rate<br />

taxpayer.<br />

Sounds promising – so how<br />

does the maths work? The<br />

partner who has an unused<br />

amount of personal allowance<br />

can transfer £1,100 of their<br />

allowance to the other (so<br />

basically 10% of the full<br />

allowance). It doesn't matter if<br />

they have £5,000 of their<br />

allowance let unused or £500;<br />

they can only transfer £1,100.<br />

OK, so how do we actually<br />

apply? It really is very<br />

simple, and only takes a<br />

few minutes; just use the<br />

application at HM<br />

Revenue & Customs<br />

(HMRC). To do it you'll<br />

need both your National<br />

Insurance numbers and<br />

one of a range of diferent<br />

acceptable forms of ID for<br />

the non-taxpayer.<br />

what's it all about?<br />

If you have been refused<br />

loans by high street<br />

banks and other lenders<br />

you may believe that<br />

your financial situation<br />

is impossible. But don't<br />

panic - financial help is<br />

at hand.<br />

When looking for a loan,<br />

and doing a market<br />

research, you can<br />

sometimes see lenders<br />

boasting that they are<br />

willing to ofer “Bad<br />

Non reliable<br />

Credit Loans”or “Poor Credit<br />

Loans”. The question here is,<br />

what exactly does this mean?<br />

Does it mean that they give a<br />

loan to anyone who asks for<br />

one, without any restrictions?<br />

Does it mean that they are<br />

willing to give payday loans<br />

with no credit check?<br />

Most likely, it isn't. Anylender<br />

46


who lends money, wants to do so only to people he thinks<br />

will have the capability to repay. If so, and if loans are not<br />

given to anyone without restrictions, we are let<br />

wondering: What does it all really mean?<br />

While most of these loan companies does perform<br />

comprehensive credit checks on all loan applicants, their<br />

major focus is on afordability. These companies prioritize<br />

your ability to pay them without putting themselves and<br />

your family under an even bigger financial burden, come<br />
