Our focus at mlm is providing solutions to companies and individuals facing financial difficulties.

Services for Creditors

We act for many creditors and their solicitors. These range from Crown creditors to individuals who are simply trying to recover what is properly due to them. Where there is a debt due to you or your client and you have exhausted the options available to you, we may be able to recover what is due to you. In 2010, we recovered £2million for creditors via formal insolvency processes. 
 
MLM Personal Solutions

We advise many individuals from sole traders to people burdened with consumer debt. Our experience has taught us that the best way to begin addressing problems is to seek ways of repaying debt in full. This approach is always the most beneficial one for both individuals and their creditors. Where people simply do not have the ability to repay their debts, the best option is often bankruptcy. This provides an individual with debt relief, and allows the creditor to close the matter rather than spending further time and resources on a debt that will never be recovered. Our Personal Solutions include –
 
• Advice to Debtors, Creditors, Money Advisors and all others involved  
• Debt restructure for consumer creditors using the Debt Arrangement Scheme (“DAS”)
• Debt restructure for sole traders and partnerships
• Protected Trust Deeds
• Sequestration (Scottish term for Bankruptcy)
