DATA PROTECTION NOTICE USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
- In considering your application the Lenders will each search your records at the other agencies (the full details of which are set out below) and will add to your credit record details of that search and your application. This will be seen by other organisations carrying out later searches. By sending information to us in any form, you give JST Financial Solutions Limited and their associated partners the permission to respond in the form of email, text messages, fax, and mail or by telephone. The Lenders will also add to your credit record details of any agreement you enter into with the lenders, the payments you make under it and any default or failure to keep its terms. It is therefore very important that any information you provide to the Lender is accurate because they will check your details with the Other Agencies, and if you give them false or inaccurate information and/or they suspect fraud, this information will be recorded by them and be available to other organisations carrying out later searches. 
 
The Other Agencies records will be used and searched by the Lenders and other organisations to:

In addition, the Lenders and the Other Agencies will also use these records for statistical analysis about credit, insurance and fraud. Your application will be submitted as required by ourselves to obtain finance for you.

The credit reference and fraud prevention agencies will each keep details of any search. This information may be used to help finance companies and other organisations assess the financial risks of dealing with you and other members of your household, to help make decisions on insurance proposals and insurance claims, to administer agreements with you, to help prevent or detect fraud or other crimes and recover debts and for statistical analysis about credit and about insurance and fraud. If you give false or inaccurate information and fraud is suspected then this will be recorded. The finance companies may use a 'credit scoring' or other automated process in deciding whether to accept your application. This may involve searching your records again at one or more credit reference agencies (who will keep details of the search) as well as using other information they hold about you.

We confirm your consent to the use of your personal information for these purposes. We will disclose your personal information:

To our agents and Sub-contractors (including those based outside the European Economic Area) under a strict code of secrecy and security

Typical Example of a Debt Management Plan

Published: 22 September 2008

Debt management is not for everyone; however this is a client on the books of a JST Financial debt management company. The debt management’s companies client has was made redundant due to the credit crunch, the company she had been working for the past 5 years guaranteed 10 hours overtime each week, and more if the order book warranted it. Since the global down turn our debt management’s company’s client had seen an overtime ban, 4 day week and a 3 day week. (Sound familiar?)

The trouble is that the debt management company’s client has had great earning for the past 5 years and the finance companies have taken her guaranteed overtime into account when working out the available disposable income, on whether they would lend.

After a few months of unemployment the debt management company’s client quickly fell behind with her payments, and even took out a short term loan in the form of a payday loan. The phone started to ring at 8am in the morning, as the late and defaulted payments to the finance companies mounted up. Our client asked friends and family to one bell her phone first and then call again straight away. (This is a true account)

The debt management company’s client had not considered a debt management plan until our web site was recommended by a friend. The debt management company’s advisers took time to explain what they could do for her, and to take down an accurate record of her unsecured debts.

The debt management company’s client soon realised that a debt management plan was the best thing going forward and the debt management company’s advisers explained that using the debt management service that, she could start answering her phone again and pass the call directly to us. This was the deciding factor in using the debt management company’s service and the debt management company’s sent a dozen self addressed envelopes so she could forward any post direct to them..

The debt management company’s client debts totalled £10,600, with total monthly repayments of £638.

It was worked out that after her rent, monthly energy bills, child care and travel to her new job that the disposable income each month was £245.

The debt management company’s wrote to her creditors (finance companies) and explained in full the client’s situation, with an offer on a pro rota basis to settle the debt. (Pro rota being that the biggest creditor gets the largest percentage)

There was only one creditor after explaining the clients situation that did not freeze all the interest (but we will not name and shame on here) however it was relatively small creditor, so we allocated more money each month to pay that of first.

The debt management company’s client is now paying £245 per month of which 15% is retained by the debt management company’s as a management fee, and will be debt free in 5 years.
