Unlike some other organisations that don't tell you the whole story, we want to be completely open and honest about ourselves and our core beliefs.
Myvesta UK is a licensed and registered not-for-profit organisation that has years of experience in providing financial assistance, education and support. We are also part of the Myvesta Foundation, an international organisation that provides unique debt solutions around the world.
About Myvesta
Our Beliefs:
We believe that bad debt happens to good people. We believe that financial problems easily ripple through all facets of life and create hardship and pain for all involved. We believe in the inherent goodness and uniqueness of our clients and work hard to develop unique and customised solutions that are best for the individual. We believe in fairness and equality and never turn anyone away based on the amount of debt, type of debt, age, race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or any other reason.
It is not our place or position to find fault or blame for things that happened in the past. We do not judge the value of a person based on past performance but celebrate the bravery and conviction that it takes for someone to reach out for help, take action and work towards achieving a better tomorrow.
Our Expertise
We are often called upon to contribute our advice and opinion by local and governmental units. Our input has been sought out by Parliament, the FSA and others and we are frequently heard on BBC radio or included as important sources in the printed media. You can see our latest news releases by visiting our media centre.
Our Role as a Social Enterprise
As a not-for-profit organisation with a social purpose we work hard to create good solutions for difficult consumer debt problems.
As a not-for-profit group, any earned-income business or strategy undertaken by us is for the purpose of generating revenue in support of our social mission.
We think the UK Government describes our status and mission the best when they say:
"A social enterprise is a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners.
Social enterprises tackle a wide range of social and environmental issues and operate in all parts of the economy. By using business solutions to achieve public good, the Government believes that social enterprises have a distinct and valuable role to play in helping create a strong, sustainable and socially inclusive economy."
Free Advice:
We provide free advice to all. As a not-for-profit organisation we strive to help everyone that we can. You are welcome to call 0800 1116 885 and speak with a staff member for free and at no obligation to you. You should feel free to call us at any time to ask us for advice and assistance.
Representation:
In the interest of fairness and responsibility we strive to act at all times as an impartial and independent voice in the resolution of your financial affairs. This independence allows us to maintain good relationships with all parties so that we can put forth the best options and solutions possible.
Our advice is not tainted by the size of your monthly payment or your payment performance as we are not simply unsecured debt collectors, unlike some other supposedly independant groups or organisations that purport to be free but who are actually commercial firms.
Creditor Relationships:
We maintain good relationships with creditors of all types so that we can better represent our clients. It is because of these good relationships that we are able to better help those that turn to us for help, advice and guidance. We value the services of the creditor and bear them no ill will or animosity. Ultimately the best solutions are those that come from a collaborative approach and understanding of difficult situations to achieve the best possible outcome.
From the Heart:
Our founder, Steve Rhode, lived through bankruptcy in the United States in 1990. In 1994 he founded Myvesta US and since that time he has worked hard to create innovative solutions for others so they had more choices and chances to avoid the pain and shame that financial problems can create. Steve's has walked in your shoes and his guidance and experience has been invaluable to many people. He has walked down the path of debt and his focus is to offer services from the heart for those in trouble so they don't have to suffer the same fate. We recognize that when you are facing financial troubles that it is a traumatic time in your life and while you might be a client with us, you are a friend first.
Experience:
Myvesta UK was founded in 2005 but our heritage and commitment to helping people is long and strong. Since Myvesta US began to help people in 1994 we are proud of our history of leadership and solutions. Myvesta was the first organisation in the world to create an inpatient compulsive shopping program. We were the first organisation in the world to have a staff or solicitors, accountants, psychologists, mediators and other professionals that worked in teams to collaboratively solve the difficult financial problems of our clients. Myvesta was the first money management group on the Internet in 1994 with loads of free self-help information for all. Myvesta has authored more self-help publications and books on financial problems than any other similar organisation in the world. Myvesta was the first to bring the IVA solution to the US. Myvesta was the first not-for-profit organisation to offer comprehensive daily money management services for all.
In the UK, Myvesta works with and employees a team of experienced financial professionals that are experts in their respective fields. What we bring to the UK is a tremendous amount of experience, innovation, compassion, caring and leadership in the field of debt management and money management. We also bring our holistic approach to the UK to help people survive money troubles so they can go on to live happy and healthy lives. Since many of the financial companies now operating in the UK came from the US we have a long history of working with them and have experienced the changes they will attempt to implement in the UK. We are one step ahead of most other organisations.
The fact that Myvesta did not begin as a UK organisation originally, helps us tremendously since we are not boxed in by common beliefs or perceptions. While we abide by all rules and regulations we also strive to take big and bold steps to provide people with innovative, new and the best assistance possible.
