As a member of the Debt Resolution Forum, this year we were invited to nominate a member of our team for the title of “DRF Advisor of the Year 2011”. We had a lot of experienced advisors to choose from and after much consideration, we have selected Matthew Foley.
Here are some of the reasons why we have selected Matthew to represent ClearDebt at the 2011 DRF Awards and how you can vote for him as “DRF Advisor of the Year 2011”.
About Matthew
Matthew joined ClearDebt in 2008, originally dealing with repossessions; he quickly worked his way up to a debt advisor role.
In character, Matthew is unassuming, modest and always a model of professionalism. In addition to his reassuring and supportive approach when speaking to people in need of debt advice, Matthew is also a valued member within his team. He regularly assists his colleagues offering cover when they are away and advising their clients.
Professional Debt Qualifications
Matthew completed his CertDR (Certificate in Debt Resolution) qualification at the start of the year. This involved three individual modules which focused on different areas of the UK debt industry, from the historical context and legal regulations to studying each debt solution in detail and best practice guidelines for giving debt advice.
Matt undertook around 210 hours of study for this qualification and passed all three examinations with flying colours.

I spoke to Matt Foley at ClearDebt who outlined the benefits of an IVA and was very informative and helpful. The whole process was very easy and Matt was on hand at every step to answer any questions I had.
Matt Foley was excellent to a point that our relationship became more personal than business like. For a company that must have thousands of clients its great that when I call him he knows exactly who I am from my voice!
Fantastic. Very understanding, Matt Foley made me feel very much comfortable with the situation.
Matt Foley was amazing, very informative and explained things so I could understand.
