Solutions for Clients: Insolvency

As part of Walker Thompson’s commitment to find effective solutions for clients, a relationship has been developed with The P&A Partnership who are specialists in the field of insolvency, an area of work which we do not undertake ourselves.

In these times of economic hardship, companies of all sizes have been going into liquidation including well known household names. However we appreciate that the impact of this and the impact of finance being restricted is causing financial hardship for individuals. Therefore we are offering individuals the opportunity to consider a planned settlement of debts through a Voluntary Arrangement which will be organised by P&A and which can avoid the necessity of personal bankruptcy.

The circumstances might be such as a buy to let mortgage which can no longer be funded from lower rental incomes, credit card rollovers, personal guarantees given to support a failed business or simply losing a previously well paid employment.

The first step is to complete a Financial Information form which can be found here. P&A will then assess fully the situation and advise on the options available.

Obviously we can assist in the completion of the form if asked.

The key message is “Do Something rather than Do Nothing”
