MALG (Scotland)

 

The aims of the MALG (Scotland) are consistent with the objectives of the Money Advice Liaison Group, which are to improve working relationships between creditors, their ancillary services and advisers by:

• Facilitating and promoting a non-policy making discussion forum
• Promoting better communication, best practice, understanding and professionalism on the part of individuals and organisations concerned with consumer credit and personal debt, money/debt advice, debt collection and related ancillary matters
• Organising and administering regular meetings and workshops of the forum and the provision of information to members
• Assisting with the resolution of differences that occur from time to time, through networking, whether they are individual cases experienced by either creditors or advisers, or more general differences of opinions.

 

MALG (Scotland) meets regularly in Glasgow and draws members from the credit  and debt collecting sectors, utility companies, government bodies and the advice sector.

 

Some of the topics that MALG (Scotland) has addressed during the last twelve months include:

• Update on the Debt Managers Standards Association (DEMSA)
• Changes to the Debt Arrangement Scheme
• Review of enforcement action by the Office of Fair Trading
• TV Licensing and working with the free sector

 

During 2012, MALG (Scotland) will meet in Glasgow on the following dates:

• Wednesday March 14th
• Wednesday June 6th
• Wednesday November 7th
