About Abacus

We were founded in 2000, and have since helped thousands of people in their quest to find the most appropriate solution to unaffordable debts.

Our Offices are in Timperley, Cheshire, about 7 miles south west of Manchester city centre, where we currently employ around 70 people.

Many of our staff have years of experience in advising people with a diverse range of debt problems. Our advice is impartial and our advisors who are part of the first group of industry specialists to qualify and take CertDR (Certificate in Debt Resolution). CertDR is accredited by Edexcel and welcomed by organisations such as the Ministry of Justice, Office of Fair Trading, Insolvency Practitioners Association and the Insolvency Service. The qualification was officially launched in 2009 and was created to ensure a consistent standard of high quality customer service, knowledge and ethics within the debt solution industry.

In 2007, Abacus joined ClearDebt Group plc ("CDG"), so we're now part of an AIM listed company whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange. Abacus is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDG which administers all our Debt Management Plans (DMPs). ClearDebt Limited ("ClearDebt") is another wholly owned subsidiary of CDG which administers all the IVA's arranged for our clients. Where Debt Management is not the most appropriate solution for a particular debtor's needs or circumstances and we recommend an IVA this will be administered by ClearDebt.
