It's impossible not to be aware of the increasing levels of personal debt in the UK. However, as this national problem grows so does the supposed 'solutions'.
Jackie Newton, Chiltern’s General Manager says: "There is now a whole host of companies, ranging from the well-meaning but ill-equipped one-man band operations, to companies claiming to be the biggest, all competing for attention in every newspaper, on TV and radio, on the Internet and every conceivable form of media."
The government's supposed solution is to direct people requiring help with debts to the 'free' service providers, but the pressure to cope with demand on such organisations means this can be akin to finding NHS dental care!
"When you are in a mess, your credit cards are maxed out, creditors are demanding immediate payment, you don't know which way to turn, you need help NOW", says Jackie. How do you choose the right help? Desperation can render you vulnerable, and choosing the wrong company can leave you in an even worse situation.
Whilst there can be no perfect solution, Chiltern's clients appreciate the excellent service, the attention to detail and the caring attitude of the staff at Chiltern - As evidenced by the numerous testimonials, cards, letters, and calls thanking the team for their help.
Chiltern has helped more than 70,000 people during the 10 years spent fine-tuning its Debt Management system. But many of these people told of a whole range of bad experiences with other organisations.
Jackie Newton said, "I wanted as many people as possible to know that Chiltern Debt Management can provide an effective answer to their debt problems" she started a quest which led to discussions with Trading Standards Officers. Jackie was proud to have confirmation that Trading Standards had not received complaints about Chiltern. For a company operating in this very sensitive arena since 1996, this is a very impressive record.
Following these discussions, and after successfully passing the stringent checks carried out, including questioning past and present clients, Chiltern has been invited to join Trading Standards prestigious Better Business Scheme.
