Debt Management "Minnow" Lewis Alexander Stands Strong After Avoiding Acquisitions

2009-04-14T12:49:00.003+01:00

Lewis Alexander Limited, the specialist Debt Management, Debt Consolidation and IVA advice service has released information about the current standing of the company after its decline of offer/s made relating to the possible sale of the business over the last 3 years.

Manchester, England (PRWeb UK/PRWEB ) April 13, 2009 -- Debt Management specialists Lewis Alexander of Manchester England have confirmed that trading remained profitable for 2008 / 2009. Takeover talks and further bids were rejected over the last 2-3 years but the company remains in a position of financial strength regardless.

The company's main focus is on acquiring and retaining Debt Management clients. It does this through a free debt helpline, made available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the UK.
Most clients who approach Lewis Alexander are in need of advice and help regarding all different types of personal debt issues. Lewis Alxander is a UK registered trade mark and the company is recognised nationally both online and offline through direct response television advertising. An exceptional ability has been shown by Lewis Alexander when it comes to online SEO or Search Engine Optimisation. The company refused to Pay Per Click (PPC) in the past but market conditions are starting to allow for PPC as profit from uncostly SEO is up. The SEO success enjoyed has allowed Lewis Alexander to compete with the larger PLC competition without the same cost they encounter through paying per click. This in turn reduces the cost per client acquisition for Lewis Alexander over its competitors.

Whilst the company has made significant progress and growth over the last few years, it has done this much to the benefit of its existing client base by creating a compliant and honest environment where people can obtain the advice they need at the speed and time they require.
This can only be offered with the commitment of the clients that remain using the Lewis Alexander service. Most debt management companies boast a client retention rate of approx 5-6 months. Lewis Alexander is currently boasting client retention periods of 3-5 years, a massive difference which clearly states a difference in operational procedure.

The profitability of the company is down to a number of reasons. Firstly, the business model is based upon organic growth, so should an advertising campaign turn bad, it has been budgeted and paid for from cash at hand. Secondly, there are a board of keen directors involved that believe in development and investment in existing people and systems, that without, the company would not be where it is. Thirdly, the company shows a commitment to the clients long term financial recovery by not over stretching them and making initial repayments affordable. Their advisors are not commission based, they are paid regardless of the client taking the companies fee charging help. This ensures compliant advice on behalf of the company at all times.

The reputation of Lewis Alexander is at stake every time it makes an offer of repayment to a creditor, on behalf of a third party/client. This is because if the third party/client does not commit and repay, the offers sent by Lewis Alexander appear disrupting to the creditors. This is important as the client selection by Lewis Alexander is as important as the clients own selection of the service they choose.

The outlook for the company is strong for 2009 / 2010. Trading will be slowed by market conditions in the first / second quarter and the obvious problem faced for most debt agencies is that people cannot consider repaying their unsecured debts until they are back in employment.

This will have significant setbacks to the industry as a main for the remainder of 2009.

Lewis Alexander faced offers and a potential opportunity to join a listed PLC company in its quest to increase market share of the Insolvency / Debt Management arena. The offer was declined by Lewis Alexander shareholders and thankfully due to current share prices at the time of this articles creation, the company stands strong as a master of its own destiny. The fact that the company is privately owned does allow for the extra care and consideration of the client management which is evidenced by the retention rates not just the ability to obtain new enquiries or acquisitions.

This is most important from an investment point of view as the company that attains a client quickly, makes a sale. However, the company that attains and retains clients makes the sale and builds an investable business with a strong foundation.

Personal Debt Help Enquiries Surge in June

2008-06-29T15:33:00.009+01:00

A sudden and great increase in personal debt help enquiries at Lewis Alexander has been reported for the month of June 2008.

We would normally expect by June that the post Christmas rush and need to clear credit cards, coupled with that need for money to clear personal debts to be over, this is not the case. A great number of UK residents seem to have waited to see if things get any better toward the Summer and most felt that by June 2008 enough was enough.

This sudden increase in enquiries, has come from individuals who have failed to enter into an IVA or broken the IVA agreement due to further changes in circumstance and a subsequent inability to maintain regular monthly contributions. Apart from Bankruptcy, in most cases a debt management plan is the best option available.

Clients that are in this position are also struggling, or did struggle with the IVA repayments due to the original payment being set too high at the outset. The high IVA payment ensured that the companies proposing the Iva's, could guarantee a minimum percentage of the total debt to be repaid over the agreed fixed period of 60 months, back to the respective creditors. Therefore, greatly increasing the chance of acceptance of the IVA at the "creditors meeting". We are not suggesting for one moment that these companies have acted fraudulently or illegally, merely pointing out where the machine of big business, can act as nothing more than a conflict of interest to the people with the original problem that created the source of revenue!

Personal debt help is simple when explained in the correct way. We can all dress things up to sound complicated but when it comes to personal debt, the importance of making the right decision of which debt solution to use is imperative, as time that is wasted in pursuing the wrong route can never be recovered!

At Lewis Alexander, we help many people every day to start the process of debt clearance and for those that wish to use our debt services, that have tried to find debt help before, the process is usually very straight forward. We enjoy keeping things as simple as can be for you, this way you will at all times understand what you are entering into!

Become debt FREE with direct help & advice

2008-05-03T01:44:00.012+01:00

If you are struggling with your finances and require personal debt help or advice, try using a company that offers a free helpline as a starting point.

Companies that charge you for advice are not helping you!

IVA companies, that originally set up as sole IVA providers, are now chasing vulnerable debt management clients, as they are unable to sustain the levels of enquiries they had become accustomed to over the last few years whilst solely providing personal insolvency solutions.

This is strange as the models of some of these businesses were originally based on IVA operations but they seem to be operating in all sectors of late. When a personal insolvency company starts to move in a particular direction that it has been known to have portrayed previously as weak or a little none compliant, it can NOT only be based on changing times, they are possibly struggling to maintain existing levels of turnover from sole provision of the original service offered and this some what compromises the high esteem they may have previously been held in by some!

Lewis Alexander urges people to seek advice from specialist companies and the consumer should ask the company offering the advice if they are privately or publicly owned. This can sometimes be evidence to the consumer of the true intent behind the company ethos, will they at all stages be compliant in their dealings and advice, whilst trying on the other hand to obtain income of sales to sustain hungry investor appetites? Or, are they privately owned and investing in their clients future high level of service by concentrating on improving the service experience current clients enjoy?

The real intention of any personal debt company should be to help the vulnerable consumer clear personal debts as quickly as possible. This is not all ways the case.

Please note that only an IVA can clear debts in 60 months or 5 years.

Debt Management will clear your debts and suits many people but no fixed time period or end date can be promised, any individual or company claiming to be able to offer an exact end date for the debt management plan is lying!

Employment problems whilst struggling with personal debt?

2008-04-16T23:22:00.004+01:00

If you fear you are about to be made redundant or have recently lost your job, do not prioritise the repayments of your personal unsecured debts. For example, credit cards, personal loans, catalogues etc. You MUST make sure you pay your priority debts and repayments first, such as, Mortgage, Rent, Council Tax, Electricity, Gas, TV license. If you allow arrears to build up or bills for the home get out of control, you could end up losing your home or dwellings.

We help many people understand which bills need paying first and which should take a back seat for the time being, we are not saying that unsecured debts should be ignored, quite the opposite, however, with a little sound advice it is quite amazing how easily a personal debt problem can sometimes be solved.

If you fear you are about to be made redundant or need help regarding benefits available, their are many organisations that can help.

Personal debt in the workplace can be very difficult to deal with. Others around you are most probably going through the very same feelings of stress and worry. Do not suffer alone, call our free debt helpline in confidence and sleep peacefully tonight!

In Personal Debt during a "Credit Crunch" House Sale?

2008-04-12T15:32:00.016+01:00

Every day, the calls keep coming from people who need to clear their personal debts but who also have their property currently on the open market for sale. Where is the problem you ask?

If Mr & Mrs A own a property, that they believe is worth and currently being marketed for £300,000 and the house has been up for sale for 3 months without any viewings, it is likely they will have to asses what is going to be the reason why a potential buyer would buy their house before the next one available at the same or slightly lower price, it is about knowing the market in which you are selling your home!

This is not the point though, most people think their house is the one that will sell, it is our nature to prefer our own houses, cars, holidays etc....

However, Mr & Mrs A also have unsecured credit card debts and personal loan agreements outstanding that total approximately £35,000. The interest on the personal debt is accruing daily and their ability to repay more than the minimum payments is limited and becoming more so as the months move on. Mr & Mrs A believe that when they sell their house they will pay off their personal debts, it is quite simple!

Or is it?

Mr & Mrs A may not sell their house for another 6 months, it may not sell at all!

In the current climate, the case could be that Mr & Mrs A sell their house for a lot less than they originally thought meaning less equity to pay off the debts after the sale. Whilst waiting to sell the house the interest and charges on the personal debt has increased the total amount now owing to possibly £37,500-40,000. It all depends on the interest accruing on the debt outstanding!

The point is simple, people should not put all their"eggs in one basket".

Mr & Mrs A should make plans to deal with or take advice regarding the unsecured debt level and possibly reduce it whilst trying to sell the house. The concern of keeping the credit score in tact is a little like "shutting the stable door once the horse has bolted".

For more advice regarding personal debt problems and ways around managing your debt through the sale of your home in a volatile market, please call today using 0800 018 6868, our lines are open 24 hours, your call is FREE and dealt with in total confidence.

Alone in Personal Debt, Partner NOT Aware?

2008-03-30T14:06:00.003+01:00

Are you living alone and suffering with the stress and worry of personal debt issues or problems.

You may be living with a partner or married and unable to share your concerns due to worry of affecting your relationship. This is very common be you alone or just unable to talk to anyone. Most people that call our free debt helpline understand that they are not alone once they speak with a trained advisor.

Credit companies are trying to obtain as much of your disposable income (the money you have spare each month after bills and living costs) as possible, there are rules for lenders on how much they can lend people and the industry term for this is "Responsible Lending".

It basically means that if a lender thinks, that after looking through and investigating your income and expenditure (a financial statement on your self) that you are unable to afford repayments on a new proposed loan, they MUST NOT lend you the money. If you encountered a further change in circumstance for the worse, you may not be able to repay the lender the money you borrowed. Not lending the money in this instance where an individual can not afford to repay is now known as "Responsible Lending" on behalf of the lender which can only be seen as most commendable.

A great number of consumers get frustrated and tempered with loan providers and their loan brokers when unable to get the acceptance for the credit they so need or want. This is not the lenders fault or problem, consumers must take responsibility also for their past and make more responsible decisions by thinking more long term regarding their money and financial status.

The finance industry is like most "a double edged sword" on the one side you have the compliant companies who respect people and their personal situations, on the other side are the more unscrupulous companies that prey on the vulnerable consumer.

At Lewis Alexander we offer impartial financial advice regarding all personal debt issues, do not suffer alone and do not be afraid of talking with us if you fear your partner and their reaction.

Did you know, more people are more likely to speak and be open with their partner about an extra marital affair or relationship they have had than the problems they have gotten into regarding personal debt and finances?

Credit Cards & Debt Help - IVA or Debt Management?

2008-03-28T02:36:00.011Z

Credit cards are the biggest problem in most peoples financial arrears. Most of us try and keep up with the plastic before paying anything else, such as rent and mortgages! Yes, people are actually paying for their mortgages and their rent using their credit facilities. When we try and explain to vulnerable consumers that they must prioritise their debts by paying the most important first, they seem shocked as though the credit card companies will be upset.

An upset credit card company is much better than an eviction order from your landlord or your mortgage lender advising you that they are to repossess your home or ask you to vacate your rented dwellings.

We can't stress enough the importance of making the repayments on loans or other debts secured against your home.

Credit card companies only want you to pay the minimum on your credit card repayments, if you pay more than the minimum required you will be clear your debt and then you won't owe them any money, this is not good for your credit card company, however, it is the right direction for you!

The interest on credit cards is designed to increase not reduce, these companies are waiting for you to suffer a change in personal circumstances such as a death in the family, loss of job or less hours at work, split from partner or divorce. These changes in circumstance are not all ways negative unpleasant ones. A new baby or a wedding can easily set us back for years. The credit industry has a much clearer crystal ball than the vulnerable consumer. They can see your changes before you know you are due them. it is just the way credit companies work but please do not let them work you out of YOUR home!

IVA take up rate 12% of Debt Consolidation enquiries!

2008-03-05T00:24:00.010Z

The take up rate for the personal IVA at Lewis Alexander is 12%.

The company specialises in the Personal Debt Management sector and has done so successfully since February 2003. The information released is based upon enquiries that are generated from the initial enquiry to a live conversion into a Lewis Alexander client. The IVA work is outsourced to preselected Insolvency Practitioners.

The remaining 88% splits down into 63% opting for a Lewis Alexander Debt Management Plan and the final remainder choose options such as bankruptcy and loan options where available.

The figure is surprising as the general market place of personal debt advice and help services seems to be direct selling the IVA! Lewis Alexander are proud to offer the client a full explanation where necessary so as to enable the consumer to make an informed decision. This could be adopted as best practice amongst all companies and implemented on a compliance basis by a regulator.

The industry could then adopt an accepted standard conversion rate for a compliant fee charging advisory service.

The main problem Lewis Alexander has encountered with the funding and floatation's of IVA PLC companies, dating back to 2004, is that the individual choosing to enter into an IVA over a Debt Management Plan or Voluntary Petition for Bankruptcy is no different in there make up, they are still only human! The point being is that the individual is open to exactly the same changes in circumstances over the next 5 years that has created the need for action in the first place. The Debt Management Plan may not be as rewarding in fees as an IVA to the operating company but is sometimes a preferred approach for advice when the advisor has the experience the client does not!

Yes, companies are in business to make money but at this end of the financial sector there should be an element of caution as the detriment to the consumer can be catastrophic if the consumers IVA fails due to their lack of continuity of payment etc,,

The Debt Management Plan is not a legally binding agreement and is informal between client and creditor. Therefore, the "City of London" or financial institutions raising funds for floatation's have avoided Debt Management Companies in the main. This is why some of the IVA companies or IVA factories have scurried around making acquisitions that seem still to be proven on a profitability basis. These companies surely could not have floated as Debt Management operations but did create great projections and share rushes, then proceeded to buy Debt Management companies in a bid to keep their bottom line positive and reduce the cost per client acquisitions.

Lewis Alexander has previously rejected take over bids from a certain IVA company due to this mind set as described above. The take over would have affected the success enjoyed by both client and employee when clearing debts, coupled with the excellent balance of impeccable client retention rates with outstanding abilities to generate new enquiries that convert into acquisitions.

The cost to an IVA company to generate an acquisition had reached £1000 over the last 2 years and in some cases more. These companies business models are costly and when compared to the Lewis Alexander CPA of an IVA at £150, it seems outrageous. Is the sector finished as a direct sell arena and where will the money makers move next?

We can confirm that the only PLC involvement at Lewis Alexander is Profitability, Liquidity & Capital.

IVA Companies Failing to Maximise! warns Uk Debt Management Specialist

2008-02-14T11:33:00.006Z

IVA companies are finding it increasingly difficult to convince consumers to enter into an IVA.

Some companies push the IVA over other options available such as Debt Management or Bankruptcy. The consumer does not get a fair explanation and then the end result can be quite a shock for the person who has entered into the IVA.

Ability to borrow can be delayed for many years after the IVA has ended and certain restrictions can be very tiresome.

Debt management plans have been given a hard time with bad press over the years but it is quite amazing how many people prefer to take them and when operated by a good company those clients also complete the plans!

IVA & Debt Management Company call in Not Normal Media

2008-01-25T00:23:00.006Z

Lewis Alexander Limited announced earlier today that the new 2008/9 advertising contract has been awarded to not normal Media, also known as Not Normal Limited of Manchester.

The 2008 campaigns will commence online and offline in March 2008 and run continuously until Jan 31st 2009.

The main focus of the campaigns will be on increasing the existing response from the DRTV success enjoyed since 2005. The main reason why Lewis Alexander are so successful in such high cost advertising mediums is due to vast experience of the current board of directors.

Managing Director, Richard Johnson said, " We are delighted with the news and selection of the not normal agency. We have been advised to acquire the agency to allow greater control of spend for Lewis Alexander, the agency does not have a vast client base so this approach seemed sensible considering the time they had scheduled the Lewis Alexander Account. We were mainly impressed by their quality not quantity approach. This will be a very exciting time for both companies and new clients should benefit from an ease of finding our services when most at need".

The cost per client acquisition for Lewis Alexander has ridiculed that of its IVA competition stated in the national press and the Debt Management arm of the business operates in perfect synergy with the loan brokerage and IVA department.

The advertising contract won by not normal media is said to be worth in the region of 1/4 Million GBP spend over the next 12 month period. Both companies have worked together briefly on new products for Lewis Alexander and see a mutually beneficial relationship ahead. The fee paid for not normal ltd remains undisclosed.

Enforcement Restriction Orders for 2010, will it affect the IVA & Debt Management

2008-01-17T15:46:00.003Z

The Press Association have reported that the Government plans to introduce an initiative called the Enforcement Restriction Order. This is designed to assist people who have been subjected to a change in personal circumstances who have personal debts outstanding that can't be immediately repaid.

In essence it is a facility for consumers to approach a county court and ask for an order to be placed which allows them a PAYMENT HOLIDAY suspending due payments for up to one year. Interest would still accrue on accounts but late payment charges would be waived during the payment holiday.

Courts would be expected to make the Enforcement Restriction Order difficult to obtain if the consumer is not struggling with a catalogue of low value debts. Mortgages, Student Loans & Child Maintenance would be excluded from any Enforcement Restriction Order

Uk iVA & Debt Management Co. applies for FISA accreditation

2008-01-16T17:46:00.001Z

Lewis Alexander Financial Management of Manchester, has applied for FISA membership. Lewis Alexander Ltd has done this for a number of reasons,

To allow the company to make strong directional movements towards secured and unsecured borrowing markets whilst creating extra advice services for the Uk consumer.

The Financial Director claims that this will make Lewis Alexander a dominant player within the Uk Personal Finance Industry within the next 12 months. Profitability remains high and re-invested but not excessive based on turnover. The company is excited about the potential FISA accreditation.
