and intention to pay, displayed by entrusting the buyer with goods or services without immediate payment.
Creditor – The Company, person or organisation who lends a debtor money.
Consolidation – The act of paying off numerous other loans, credit cards or other debts with a larger new loan.
IVA – Individual Voluntary Arrangement - enables you to make a formal proposal for payment to your creditors through an Insolvency Practitioner. The proposed payments will be less than the full amount of the debt owed but your creditors would be accepting the offer in full and final settlement of their claim. See Here..
DMP- Debt Management Plan - is a simple and effective way to pay your non-priority creditors. Your DMP provider will calculate the amount you can afford to pay after giving consideration to your priority debts - mortgage, utilities, council tax etc and day-to-day living expenses. Any money left is then paid as a single monthly payment and then distributed to your non-priority creditors on your behalf. See Here...
Bankruptcy – Is a legal procedure for dealing with debts you can no longer afford to repay. It is possible for a creditor to petition for your Bankruptcy if you owe the creditor more than £750 but it is rare for this to happen in normal consumer debt cases. See Here..
Debt Relief Order - a form of insolvency for people will debts under £15,000 and with a low income and few assets. See Here..
Default - default occurs when a debtor has not met its legal obligations according to the debt contract, e.g. it has not made a scheduled payment, or has violated a loan covenant (condition) of the debt contract. Default may occur if the debtor is either unwilling or unable to pay their debt.
Credit Score -a numerical expression based on a statistical analysis of a person's credit files, to represent the creditworthiness of that person, which is the perceived likelihood that the person will pay debts in a timely manner. A credit score is primarily based on credit report information, typically sourced from credit bureaus / credit reference agencies. See Credit Rating Guide
Stepchange (formerly CCCS) - StepChange Debt Charity based in Leeds. Through its free national telephone service, regional centres and online StepChange Debt Remedy, StepChange is able to help people with debt problems wherever they live. It is the largest provider of debt management plans in the UK.
Citizens Advice Bureau - (CAB) - Citizens Advice and each Citizens Advice Bureau are registered charities reliant on over 20,000 volunteers and need to raise funds to provide these vital services. The majority of advisers are trained volunteers, helping people to resolve nearly 5.5 million problems every year.
National Debtline - a national telephone helpline for people with debt problems offering free, confidential advice. The website contains useful factsheets and sample letters for dealing with debt problems.
Payplan - Based in Grantham in Lincolnshire, they offer a national service helping people with Debt. Payplan provides free debt advice and free debt solutions for anyone experiencing financial difficulties.
Cap UK - Christians Against Poverty is a network of local help centres where members will help you complete forms, in the comfort of your own home in some cases, and even come to court with you if need be. It doesn't matter that you're not a Christian, this isn't a requisite for asking them for help.
Statute Barred - A Statute Barred debt is a debt where the creditor can no longer take legal action to enforce the debt. A debt becomes statute barred if there is a period of more than 6 years where the debtor makes no payments towards the debt and doesn't write to the creditor to acknowledge the debt is owed and only if the creditor doesn't commence court action within that period. If the debtor acknowledges the debt in writing or makes a part payment within the original limitation period, then the time limits start to run again from the date of acknowledgement or the date of payment. See here...
Limitations Act 1980 - The Limitation Act 1980 is a British Act of Parliament. It is a statute of limitations which provides timescales inside which action may be taken (by issuing a claim form) for breaches of the law. For example it provides that breaches of an ordinary contract are actionable for six years after the event, whereas breaches of a deed are actionable for twelve years after the event. In most cases, after the expiry of the time periods specified in the Act the remedies available for breaches are extinguished and no action may be taken in the courts in respect of those breaches.
Debt Collection Agency - (DCA) -- A collection agency is a business that pursues payments on debts owed by individuals or businesses. Most collection agencies operate as agents of creditors and collect debts for a fee or percentage of the total amount owed. Some also purchase debts from creditors for a fraction of the value of the debt and pursue the debtor for the full balance. Creditors typically send debts to a collection agency in order to remove them from their accounts receivable records; the difference between the amount collected and the full value of the debt is then written off as a loss. Debt collection agencies have a reputation for engaging in threatening behaviour, harassment, and coercion. However, in many countries, collection agencies are governed by laws that prohibit certain abusive practices. Failure to adhere to such laws may result in lawsuits or government regulatory actions.
Repossession - is generally used to refer to a financial institution taking back an object such as a house or car, that was either used as collateral or rented or leased in a secured debt. See Repossession help guide.
Bailiff - a legal officer to whom some degree of authority, care or jurisdiction is committed. Bailiffs are of various kinds and their offices and duties vary greatly. Often used to recover defaulted debts after a CCJ has been obtained by the creditor. A Bailiff is an official of court and has the power to seize goods and sell them at auction to settle a debt.
County Court Judgement - CCJ - In England and Wales (Scotland has its own legal system), CCJs are legal decisions handed down by County Courts. Judgments for monetary sums are entered on the Register of County Court Judgments, which is checked by credit reference agencies to assess the credit-worthiness of individuals. If the debtor continues to default on a CCJ the creditor may apply for a charging order which would secure the debt on a property. Creditors can also apply for an attachment of earnings which would oblige the debtor's employer to deduct monies from their salary and send them to the court. A Third Party Debt order would oblige a third party who holds money belonging to the debtor (for example a bank) to pay the debt. It is also possible to have the court appoint a Bailiff to collect the debt.
Charging Order - A Charging order, in English law, is an order obtained from a court or judge by a creditor, by which the property (usually a house) of the debtor stands charged with the payment of the amount for which judgment shall have been recovered, with interest and costs, usually after the debtor sells the house.
Statement of Affairs - (SOA) - A written out list of all income, outgoings, debts, and other financial information that can be used to create a budget, or to negotiate payments with creditors, for example in a DMP or IVA.
Consumer Credit Act 1974 - (CCA) - Consumer protection law in the UK. It requires certain businesses to obtain Consumer credit licences and protects individuals receiving credit up to £25,000. Appeals under the Consumer Credit Act are made to the OFT. Cancellable agreements have a cooling-off period starting on the day the customer signs. This period is 14 days for goods bought from a mail-order catalogue. Otherwise, it is five days from the day the customer receives either a second copy of the agreement or a separate copy of a notice of cancellation rights. The Act is modified by the Consumer Credit Act 2006
Consumer Credit Agreement - (CCA) - A contract between the debtor and the creditor in exchange for money or services.
Credit Reference Agency - (CRA) - There are 3 credit reference agencies who hold financial information, in the form of a credit file, about everyone. Including payment history, current debt and bank accounts, defaults, CCJs, financial associations etc. Creditors will refer to credit reference agencies when assessing whether they will lend to you while performing a credit search.
Debt Collector - A representative of a Debt Collection Agency, sent to a debtor's home to try and negotiate repayment of a debt. Debt Collectors have no power to demand money, enter your home or remove goods, and are merely representative of the DCA.
Office of Fair Trading - (OFT )- A non-ministerial government department of the United Kingdom, established by the Fair Trading Act 1973, which enforces both consumer protection and competition law, acting as the UK's economic regulator. The OFT's goal is to make markets work well for consumers, ensuring vigorous competition between fair dealing businesses and prohibiting unfair practices such as rogue trading, scams and cartels.
Annual Percentage Rate - (APR) -An expression of the interest rate that the borrower will pay on a loan, taking into account one-time fees and standardizing the way the rate is expressed. In other words the APR is the total cost of credit to the consumer, expressed as an annual percentage of the amount of credit granted. APR is intended to make it easier to compare lenders and loan options. For a detailed explanation see the Interest Rates for Beginners guide
Annual Equivalent Rate - (AER) -Also known as effective interest rate, effective annual interest rate, or simply effective rate, is the interest rate on a loan or financial product restated from the nominal interest rate as an interest rate with annual compound interest included.
Compound Interest - Interest that is earned on the interest that has already been paid, such as with credit cards.
Cashback websites - Websites that pay you cashback when you click through to a website for them. For a full guide to how they work, see the top cashback sites guide
Quidco - A cashback website in which you can get cashback for clicks, sign ups and purchases made through their referral links.
TopCashBack (TCB) - Same as quidco.
Full and Final Settlement - (!!!!!!) -Where a creditor or DCA accepts a reduced figure in agreement with the debtor, to settle the debt and mark it as settled on a credit record.
Partial Settlement - A term DCAs or creditors use meaning that a lump sum has been paid off the debt. The debt will NOT be marked as settled or closed on a credit record and the DCA/Creditor retains the right to pursue the debtor for the remaining balance at any time.
Snowballing - A term used as a faster method of paying off debts by paying one off, then using the money saved to make extra payments on others, hence the term snowball (i.e. the more you pay off, the more you have to pay off, like a snowball rolling down a hill, it gets bigger the further it goes..). Used as part of the Credit Card Shuffle technique for cutting costs of debt without new credit, also see the Snowball Calculator
(Lending) Underwriter - the lovely, caring person at the bank who thoughtfully assesses whether or not you can afford the loan you have asked for...
(Thanks snaggles.. :rotfl:)
Secured Debt - A debt where something is specified as collateral to the debt being repaid, such as a house or car. This is usually the case with higher value debts such as mortgages or large loans. In the event of the debt not being repaid, the collateral may be repossessed by the creditor in order to repay the debt.
Non Secured Debt - A debt that has nothing secured as collateral, and no home, car or other item will be repossessed if the debtor fails to repay, unless in the case where the creditor obtains a charging order against the debtors property.
Wombling - The act of collecting discarded tesco receipts, and then taking them to the store to have the clubcard points applied to your clubcard account.
Lightbulb moment - what we MSE'ers and DFW's term as the moment of realisation whereby we need to start to tackle our debt head on instead of getting more.

immoral_angeluk prepared a really useful DFW Dictionary a few years ago - The DFW Dictionary.
Some of the links are now out of date so this is a new thread with up to date links.
Many thanks to immoral_angel whose posts I have used as a base for this new thread.
A note of the above definitions - these are based on the law in England & Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland both have different legal systems to England & Wales. Before committing to anything it is a good idea to get professional advice from one of the recognised debt charities.
If there are any errors in the above or any suggestions please let me know and I will edit the posts accordingly.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
