Also known as: Carrington Dean
Carrington Dean Group Limited is a Scottish debt solutions company that specialises in helping people deal with debt using Scottish insolvency procedures. It is one of the largest providers of debt advice and debt solutions in Scotland, trading under the Carrington Dean brand.
Scotland has its own distinct debt legislation and insolvency processes, which differ from those in England and Wales. Scottish debt solutions include the Debt Arrangement Scheme (DAS), which is similar to a debt management plan and allows you to repay debts at an affordable rate while freezing interest; Sequestration, which is the Scottish equivalent of bankruptcy; and the Minimal Asset Process (MAP), which is a low-cost route into sequestration for people with few assets.
Carrington Dean specialises in these Scottish procedures and has experience of the Scottish legal framework. It also offers advice to people across the UK on wider debt issues.
Because Carrington Dean is a commercial company, it charges fees for some of its services. Before engaging them, it is worth understanding what these fees are and comparing them with free alternatives. StepChange and Citizens Advice Scotland can provide free debt advice on Scottish debt solutions.
Free debt advice in Scotland is available from Citizens Advice Scotland on 0800 028 1456, StepChange on 0800 138 1111, and National Debtline on 0808 808 4000. These services are free and can advise on Scottish insolvency procedures as well as general debt management.
