Frequently Asked Questions
Evolve act on behalf of a number of firms that purchase accounts that are in an active insolvency or in the process of becoming insolvent. These accounts are purchased from the original lender who provided you with credit in the first instance. Evolve administer these accounts on behalf of these firms with a view to recovering funds from your insolvency practitioner, trustee in bankruptcy or the official receivers where appropriate. Evolve will not chase you personally for payment.
Yes. The statements are issued to comply with the Consumer Credit Act. They are for your information only and are not a demand for payment. You will continue to receive these either once or twice a year whilst your insolvency is still active. Once your creditor has been notified of the completion of your insolvency, statements should no longer be issued.
It is common for payments to be received at different intervals throughout an insolvency and is dependent on your IP/trustee. Should you have any payment queries please speak to your IP/trustee directly, and they should be able to advise you further.
No. Neither Max Recovery nor Evolve (who administer the account) add any interest, fees or charges to your account.
Although you may have finished making payments into your insolvency, the insolvency can remain active in order to complete any final administration or payments by the IP/trustee. When the insolvency has closed, you will receive a completion certificate to confirm this.,. Please provide a copy of the completion certificate to our Customer Support team [email protected] We will ensure your records are up to date on our system.
When you receive a personal discharge from your IP/ trustee, this is not always advised to your creditors. The insolvency usually remains open for further administration or the reclaim of VAT or PPI. If this is the case, once completed your creditors are advised of the closure. Should you hold a personal discharge certificate, you can contact Evolve’s Customer Support team to advise of this so your records can be updated accordingly.
Your IP/trustee is allowed up to 28 days before issuing confirmation to your creditors. Once we receive confirmation of the completion, we will update your credit file. Credit Reporting Guidelines advise to allow six to eight weeks for this update to be completed. However, we aim for this to completed within 30 days once we have been notified of the completion. Please provide a copy of the completion certificate to our Customer Support team [email protected] We will ensure your records are up to date on our system.
When your credit file is updated your account will show:
- settled – this is when 100p in £ has been paid to your creditors (when the amount owed is paid back in full)
- partially settled – anything lower than 100p in £ paid to your creditors (when only a proportion of the amount owed is paid back)

https://www.transunion.co.uk
Please note: Your account will continue to appear on your credit file for six years from the date of default, the credit reference agency will then remove the account from your credit file.
Although the account may not have defaulted in the past, when you enter an insolvency, your account is automatically deemed to be in default. This will show on your credit file for six years from the date the account defaulted.

Alternatively, you may wish to refer to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) guidelines. These are also available online.
The date Max Recovery use as the date of default will either be the earliest of:
- the date that you entered into your insolvency; or
- the date supplied by your lender who provided you with credit.
Should you believe that the incorrect date has been used, please contact Evolve’s Customer Support team using the contact details provided – together with any evidence of the default date.
When a creditor sells an account to another creditor, your credit file will be updated to show that your account has been sold. This appears as ‘Debt assigned to CAIS member’ and the date quoted will match the date your account was sold. This is not a duplicate entry as the entries are consecutive. This entry will remain on your credit file until six years from the date of default.
