Introduction to Debt

This course covers all types of debt (both priority and non-priority) and all areas of debt advice. It includes information on the legislation behind the different types of debt, and the recovery methods available to creditors. The course goes on to discuss strategies and solutions to debt problems available to service users, and has a section dedicated to bailiffs including the new legislation introduced in April this year.

The course has many exercises based on everyday practice including analysing and sorting through creditor paperwork and completing financial statements. The exercises are done as a whole group or in smaller groups.
