  • In January 1978 Kesho Systems Began Trading with the Express
    In January 1978 Kesho Systems began trading with the express purpose of developing and providing powerful, flexible, state of the art software for accountants in practice by utilising the sophisticated features of emerging micro-computer technology. The philosophy, which led to this decision, was two fold. First, it seemed sensible to target a respectable, professional market, which recognised the benefits of computerised accounting. Secondly it was evident that, by creating and maintaining a reputation for high quality software and unparalleled support within the chartered accountancy profession, the company would benefit from recommendations to design and supply software to the client companies of its accountant users. With the main emphasis being devoted to customer satisfaction through support and enhancements the original philosophy proved to be very successful and has led to continued growth. Indeed, many of the company’s clients have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship through three and four generation of computer systems spanning some twenty years. Kesho is proud to have always been at the leading edge of technology and when IBM launched the Personal Computer, the company was awarded the, much coveted, IBM authorisation. It was during this time that Kesho first gained an interest in the accounting functions of Credit Unions. In 1987, following a comprehensive feasibility study and details systems specification, Kesho launched CUMAS, the credit union management and accounting systems which dominated the UK market for a decade. However, between 1990 and 1997, contractual constrains prevented Kesho’s involvement, although, by popular demand Kesho did provide support and enhancements from 1995 to keep the system alive.

  • A Basic Self-Help Guide to Dealing with Debt
    MONEY TALK A BASIC SELF-HELP GUIDE TO DEALING WITH DEBT Produced for the communities of South & South East Leeds by If you are having money problems don’t ignore them. They won’t go away, and the longer you wait to deal with them or get advice, the worse the situation will be. This booklet will give you some basic advice to help you deal with your debts. OUR TOP TIPS FOR DEALING WITH YOUR DEBTS • The people who you owe money to are called your “Creditors”. • Don’t panic. Help is available. A list of Organisations offering free and confidential advice is in this booklet. • Act fast. As soon as you are unable to make a payment when it is due, contact your Creditors to let them know. If you receive a letter informing you that they are considering further action, ask them to hold action for 2 to 3 weeks while you seek advice and assistance. • Always keep copies of the letters that you write about your debts, and write down the dates of any telephone calls that you make to your Creditors. • We recommend that you don’t borrow more money to pay off your debts, but before taking out a loan always get impartial advice before you sign anything. Don’t rush in to it. • If you do decide to take out a loan, make sure you find out all the details, such as the total cost of the loan and whether the loan is secured against your home. • Fill out a Personal Budget sheet so that you know what income and expenses you have.

  • High-Cost Consumer Credit Review
    High-cost Consumer Credit Review Submission from the Association of British Credit Unions Limited Contact details Mark Lyonette – Chief Executive [email protected] Tel: 0161 819 6997 Or Abbie Shelton – Policy and Communications Manager [email protected] Tel: 0161 819 6994 www.abcul.coop ABCUL’s Response – High-Cost Consumer Credit Review Introduction We welcome the opportunity to respond to this consultation. As the main trade association for credit unions in England, Scotland and Wales, ABCUL represents around 70% of credit unions, which in turn provide services to over 80% of British credit union members. At the end of June 2008, credit unions in Great Britain were providing financial services to 655,000 adult members1 and had £429 million out on loan to members. The majority of loans made to credit union members are unsecured. Credit unions are financial co-operatives that are owned and controlled by their members. They offer ethical, not-for-profit, inclusive financial services often in competition with high-cost lenders. Credit unions are a small part of the unsecured loans market in the UK, but their significance is growing as the sector grows and as other lenders put a squeeze on smaller, shorter term loans that often form a large proportion of the loans that credit unions make available to their members. Credit unions are unique in the UK in having a legal ceiling set on the amount of interest they can charge on loans. This was increased from 1% a month on the reducing balance to 2% a month on the reducing balance in 2006.
