The Introducer Scheme Opportunity
Many mortgage advisors and credit brokers are suffering in the current market because of the "credit
crunch" and tougher underwriting criteria. Increasingly consumers have exhausted the traditional sources
of secured and unsecured lending providers, but want to talk to an advisor about their debt problems.
With TCF obligations affecting almost all intermediaries, a Debt Management Plan (DMP) can
represent an alternate debt solution that is in the best interests of the consumer where they can avoid
becoming more indebted and take a significant step towards taking control of their household finances
in conjunction with their Debt Manager.
Working alongside Secured Finance
Debt Management can work alongside the provision of secured finance where a consumer's equity,
disposable income and credit worthiness will only support a partial clearance of the total unsecured
debt. A secured creditor is a priority creditor and does not form part of the DMP. Part of the funds
raised from the secured loan would be made available for full & final settlements for lower balance
creditors and those who are unlikely to freeze interest & charges at the negotiation stage. A secured
loan of £5,000 may in fact clear in excess of £10,000 of unsecured debts if the client is already in
default with several creditors, which is not uncommon.
How the Introducer Scheme works
The €uroDebt Introducer Scheme allows you to make referrals to €uroDebt, where we will set up a
confidential face-to-face meeting with your client. You are kept informed of progress at all times and
are attributed with the referral from the outset.
| Tier 1 |
You provide us with basic contact details and submit these with consumer consent for
€uroDebt to follow-up. These can be provided by phone, on-line or through reply cards. |
| Tier 2 |
You undertake some initial free training with €uroDebt to enable you to complete a "fact find"
and to qualify the opportunity before referring the client to €uroDebt. €uroDebt involve you in
the client's annual review process where circumstances may have changed. This level of
agreement allows for flexibility in commission payments for both basic referrals (e.g. from
bulk marketing campaigns) and qualified referral (e.g. after a face-to-face meeting). |
The commission return for self-generated leads with a "fact find" (Tier-2) is considerably higher than a
simple referral (Tier-1).
We quickly establish your Introducer Agreement and assign you a unique 6 digit reference and this
forms part of your Introducer Website (e.g. www.EuroDebtIntroducers.com/123456). You will normally
have the opportunity to work with your €uroDebt Business Development Manager to develop the
marketing plan that forms an Annex to your agreement.
€uroDebt also provides a dedicated Help Line for handling Introducer referrals and answering any
questions on the service. This is available from 8:00 to 21:00. This service is most useful to brokers or
advisors when they may be away from the office. Our support team will ensure that a Debt Advisor is
appointed at the earliest opportunity or whenever the prospective client wants to be called.
Marketing Support
€uroDebt provides a full broker and advisor marketing support pack, which includes a local mentor.
€uroDebt is well equipped to do this as a result of its investment in its national franchisee network and
having run advisor support programmes for many years. This is an integral part of €uroDebt's unique
home visiting business model.
