Debt Management Collection & Recovery - 2008. An analysis of the consumer and commercial debt management industry in the UK
==================

The widely acclaimed Debt Survey 2004 has now been updated for 2008. There are three versions available - the most detailed of which contains 176 pages.

  • Executive Summary - £95
  • Debt Collection Agents Survey - £395
  • Full Debt Survey 2008 Report - £895

The report provides detailed information on the 'household debt problem' and forecasts the effect that this will have in the medium term, both on individual bankruptcy levels and corporate insolvency. Key evidence from the report shows:

  1. Consumer Lending
  2. Corporate Insolvency
  3. Debt Collection
  4. Large Volume Lending

If you are interested in purchasing a copy of either the Summary, Debt Collection Agents Survey or Full Debt Survey 2008 Report please email jarnold@creditman.co.uk or telephone 0845 226 1842 - International + 44 1489 787541. Credit Cards accepted
