Notes to Editors

Payplan has a proven track record within the credit industry, having offered free debt solutions for over three years. Its good reputation is reflected in the Consumers' Association and voluntary organisations' endorsement of Payplan.

Payplan is one of the country's leading debt advice agencies, with over 15 years' experience in helping people with their debt problems. It is recommended to the employees of companies such as Marks & Spencer, and by national organisations such as the Royal College of Nursing, Police Forces, Unison and National Debtline. The company also works closely with over 200 Citizens Advice Bureaux.

Payplan will make a full assessment of a caller's situation and recommend a course of action. It also provides free advice on Bankruptcy, County Court Judgements, Joint and Several liability and other risks associated with debt.

Payplan helps consumers come to an affordable flexible monthly repayment schedule with their lenders based on what they can afford after a realistic income and expenditure has been assessed. Their payments are re-evaluated regularly through Payplan's customer care supervision programme, so that any changes to their personal circumstances can be taken into account.

Payplan advisers can be contacted on 0800 280 2816 . Telephone lines are open 8am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 3pm on Saturdays. Case Officers can also arrange to call clients back at a convenient time and place. All information is treated in the strictest confidence.
