Frequently Asked Questions

No. Speaking to us won’t appear on your credit file or change your credit score.

When you get in touch, it stays between us. We don’t tell credit reference agencies, and we don’t leave any mark just because you asked for help.

If you choose to move forward with a debt solution like a Debt Management Plan (DMP) or Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA),  we’ll be upfront about how that might affect your credit record.

No surprises, no jargon. Our job is to give you clear, honest information so you can decide what’s right for you. You stay in control every step of the way.

There’s no one “best” solution. It depends on your debts, income, and what you want for the future. Please see Debt Solutions section by Clicking here.

Yes, joint debts can usually be included in a DMP or IVA.

If both of you are struggling, we can look at setting up a joint solution or separate plans, depending on what works best. If only one person is struggling, that person can enter a plan but both names remain legally responsible for joint debts.

We’ll explain how this works so you both know where you stand.

It’s very unlikely, and it’s not recommended.

  • A DMP shows on your credit file because you’re making reduced payments
    • An IVA has strict limits: you can’t get over £500 of credit without permission
    • Even small credit use can make it harder to stick to your plan

These solutions are about clearing debt, not adding more. Once finished, you’ll be in a stronger place to rebuild.

We’re not a data broker. We’re your debt advice provider.

When you come to Dexter Bell, you speak to trained advisers who take time to understand your full situation. If a Debt Management Plan is right for you, we set it up and manage it directly.

If an IVA looks more suitable, we take all your details, advise you of your options and introduce you to one of our Insolvency Practitioner partners and they take it from there. All the information you give us will be shared with them, so you don’t need to tell them again.

This is a transparent process, and any fees for that work are built into your IVA, not paid upfront.

The difference is clear:

  • We don’t just take your details and pass them on.
  • We adviser you directly of all your options.  
  • You always get FCA-regulated advice before any decision is made.
  • You know exactly where your case is going and why.
