Personal resolution

Personal financial dispute resolution in Hampshire

Money disagreements between people who know one another can be hard to discuss. Private Resolve offers a structured route to consider the issue and explore voluntary next steps in suitable cases.

Discuss a matter

Situations that may be considered

The Personal division may consider suitable adult-to-adult disagreements about money lent to friends or family, repayment expectations, shared costs, private sales and other individual financial disputes. An enquiry is screened before any service is offered.

  • Clear records of what was agreed, payments made and communications can help the parties understand where they agree and where they differ.

A careful, private discussion

Not every personal dispute is appropriate for a joint meeting. The circumstances, safety, vulnerability, conflicts and each person’s willingness to take part matter. A private resolution meeting can be considered only when the parties’ roles and the meeting process are suitable.

When another service is needed

Private Resolve does not provide legal advice, legal representation, family-law services or debt enforcement. Matters involving child arrangements, divorce financial settlements, domestic abuse, coercion or specialist family mediation are outside the initial service scope described in the working strategy and may need qualified specialist support.

A discussion does not guarantee repayment or settlement, and it does not automatically pause legal deadlines. Seek independent legal advice if a court claim or time limit is involved.

Common questions

What to know

Can I ask for help with an unpaid personal loan?

An adult personal loan disagreement may be considered for negotiation if it is suitable and both parties can take part safely. The circumstances and available records are screened first.

Do both people have to take part?

A joint meeting requires informed agreement to the facilitator’s role and the meeting arrangements. Private Resolve does not represent either person; both parties decide voluntarily whether to take part and may seek independent legal advice at any stage.

Will Private Resolve guarantee repayment?

No. Negotiation may help parties explore options, but it cannot guarantee that someone will pay or agree to a settlement.
