AdviceUK partners with Trustfolio on its Debt Adviser Support Portal.
TIPTrust, formerly The Insolvency Panel (TIP) and now part of Trustfolio, was founded in 2016 with a vision to transform the Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) sector with innovative technology and, in turn, offer free credit report data to debt advisers. Since then, backed by AdviceUK, it has evolved to focus on streamlining the free sector debt advice process through the self-service Debt Adviser Support Portal. The Portal is now successfully used by over 270 agencies and 800 individual advisers. The Portal is designed to empower rather than replace face-to-face and telephone advice services by securely providing instant access to the most thorough and accurate client creditor data, removing the administrative burden, saving debt advisers time and money, and improving client engagement and outcomes.
