Why Using a Private Financial Advocate Is 100% Lawful
And Often Better Than IVAs or Debt Management Plans In a world where debt relief often comes with hidden costs, fear-based tactics, and long-term damage to creditworthiness, many people wrongly assume that their only options are: - Signing up to a regulated IVA or DMP, - Dealing with their creditors alone, - Or simply avoiding the pressure altogether. But there is another option — and it is completely lawful, effective, and backed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA): Appointing a Private Financial Advocate under a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) to represent you, freeze interest, stop harassment, and negotiate fair, affordable terms. This model is not "debt avoidance" or deception — it is lawful delegation, used widely in many settings.
