The Third Edition of A Guide to Money Advice is the only comprehensive, up to date guide to money advice in Scotland. It will be an invaluable asset for all involved in the debt and credit related fields, as well as source book for those working in social work, housing and employment advice.
This third edition has been totally updated, and encompasses all of the changes to money advice, since the launch of the second edition in 1997, including:
|
|
-
The Mortgage Rights (Scotland) Act 2001
-
The Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Act 2002
-
New approaches to training and accreditation
There is also coverage of subjects such as student debt and business debt, two areas that are increasingly important in the money adviser's workload.
The guide provides
answers to many frequently asked questions and is suitable for both advisers new to money advice and those with more experience. It has been fully researched and the text is fully indexed and laid out and written in an easy to read manner.
Recognising developments in information technology, all the forms and pro forma letters are on CD-ROM and will allow advisers to input texts and print off copies. All the authors are experienced and respected figures in the advice field with a wealth of expertise.
It's Not Just for Money Advisers
Although particularly relevant for those working within money advice, the guide will also be beneficial to solicitors, welfare rights workers, social workers, housing officers, consumer advisers, financial advisers and all those operating within the credit industry.
It's Not Just for Scotland
Again, although it is particularly relevant for those working within the advice and credit sectors in Scotland, the guide will be very useful to those who are involved in credit giving and credit collection in England and Wales. As the recently introduced Debt Arrangement Scheme gathers momentum, it will be imperative for them to be aware of how it will impact on their business.
What's Being Said About the Book?
"I am delighted to commend the 3rd edition of A Guide to Money Advice. Naturally a book such as this is a living dictionary and therefore needs regular updating. What a lot of legislative change we have seen over the last few years with more to come. This book will be an invaluable support for practitioners in the field but also for creditors wishing to keep abreast of the changes and maintain an understanding of debt advice. The authors are well known to me and frankly you could not wish for a better and more experienced group."
Anthony Sharp, Chair of The Money Advice Liaison Group
"A must have book for all debt advice workers - clear, concise and comprehensive. Contains the first detailed comprehensive reflections and instructions on the Debt Arrangement Scheme and bang up to date information on mortgage rights cases. You will read this book.
Tom Adams, Senior Officer Money Advice, Glasgow City Council
