This website is free to use for its intended purpose.
Information displayed on this website should only be considered as generic information and is not intended as specific advice and should not be construed as such. Professional advice, specific to you as an individual or business, should be sought prior to undertaking any debt solution or insolvency process.
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
The information we collect from you depends on the product or service you apply for, or the service that we provide to you, and falls broadly into two categories: insolvency assignments, and marketing or business enquiries. We will only collect information that we actually need, where we're required to collect the information to enable us to perform our legal, regulatory or contractual obligations, or where we have your permission.
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, which we have grouped together as follows:
We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data, such as statistical data (for example, via Google Analytics), for tracking usage of the website, how an individual arrived at the website, and for any related purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law, as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.
We use different methods to collect data from and about you, including through:
We can only use your personal information where it falls into one or more of the following categories:
In a formal insolvency appointment, personal data is generally held for legal purposes and to comply with our statutory duties as Insolvency Practitioners.
To help us keep you up to date about the products and services that we provide to you, we may contact you by letter, telephone, email, text message, push notification, social media, or through other electronic means.
If you start an application for a product or service through us, we will attempt to contact you shortly after if you were unable to complete your application for whatever reason.
If you do not want to be contacted in a particular way, you can request this at any time, but if we are providing a service to you we do need to be able to send you certain communications, often due to a legal or regulatory requirement. It is important that you keep us up to date when your contact details change.
If you do not go ahead with any product or service with us, your personal information will normally be deleted after 12 months, unless we have another reason to keep it (for example, if you have given your consent to receive marketing information from us). We will delete your information sooner if you ask us to.
Insolvency assignments: we will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil our legislative and regulatory requirements. As an insolvency practice, we are governed by the Insolvency Practitioners Regulations 2005 (as amended), together with other applicable legislation. This requires us to preserve records as follows:
| Case type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Case files (all appointment types) | 6 years following the Insolvency Practitioner's release or discharge |
| Company books and records – Liquidation and Administration | Approximately 15 months after closure of the case (12 months after dissolution of the company by Companies House, which follows 3 months after closure) |
| Company books and records – Bankruptcy | 12 months after closure, subject to there being no other legal requirement |
| Voluntary Arrangements | Records are returned to the entity or debtor who provided the information |
| IVA client files (consumer IVAs) | 6 years after the Individual Voluntary Arrangement concludes |
| Other (non-insolvency) advisory assignments | 6 years after the end of the assignment |
Following the retention period applicable to your case, whatever the appointment type, your electronic file will be deleted from our systems; with the exception of the Insolvency Practitioner's Record, any documents physically signed by you, and the final report to creditors or members (or, for an IVA, the final Supervisor's report), your paper file will be destroyed. Remaining documents of this kind will be stored securely and indefinitely, either electronically or in paper form.
We will not use your personal data other than in the ordinary performance of an insolvency appointment or debt solution, or where you give us permission to do so, either in writing (including letter, email, SMS, fax or other electronic communication) or by telephone, and as required following closure of a case.
Your data will not be passed to any third party except where necessary to perform our services to you. In any insolvency appointment or debt solution, your information will typically be shared with creditors, members, or other parties with a statutory interest in the case, and may also be used in tracing assets such as PPI claims; your express approval will be required before any information is passed to claims companies for the purpose of tracing such assets.
We may also share your personal information with the following types of organisation:
These companies help us to provide our services to you. We have a contract in place with any provider who directly provides us with such services, to ensure that they comply with their data protection obligations and have appropriate security measures in place.
We may also share your personal information where we have your consent to do so, or where we're required to do so under a legal or regulatory obligation or court order, such as the police, local authorities or the courts. As part of our legitimate interest to develop our business, we will use your personal information to assess our performance and for statistical analysis, using as little personal data as we can to achieve this. We might share some of your information with the emergency services if you are considered to be in immediate danger.
The personal information we have collected from you may be shared with law enforcement agencies and fraud prevention agencies, who will use it to prevent fraud, money laundering and terrorist financing, and to verify your identity.
We use publicly available social media platforms to promote our services, provide updates, and share news and promotional updates. We may collect personal information from these platforms, for example if you post a message on our page. By providing information to us through these platforms, please be aware that:
We take the protection of personal information very seriously and maintain appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information you have provided, including:
We limit access to your personal data to those employees or agents who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach, and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Information provided through any contact form on this website will only be used for its intended purpose – specifically, to contact you and to assess whether an individual is suited to an IVA or other personal debt solution, or, where you are contacting us regarding a company insolvency appointment, to assess and progress that enquiry.
Only very basic information is requested via our online contact forms. Where an individual wishes to (or does) proceed with an IVA, or a business wishes to proceed with a formal insolvency appointment, further detailed information will be required.
When completing our online forms and seeking debt advice, you confirm that you are contemplating an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), and agree that the information on the X-Debt website is to be used for broad, generic (non-specific) purposes in relation to a Debt Relief Order, Bankruptcy, Debt Consolidation or a Debt Management Plan, and does not constitute advice.
Under certain circumstances, you have the following rights in law:
You will not usually have to pay a fee to exercise these rights, though we may charge a reasonable fee, or decline to act, if a request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. We may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity before acting on a request, and may contact you for further information to speed up our response. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month, though this may take longer for particularly complex requests or where you have made a number of requests – we will keep you updated if so.
