Government debt advice
The government have been putting some really great articles on the direct.gov.uk website for over a year now and they have a great resource dedicated to dealing with debt.
The main points they cover as as follows:
- Mortgage arrears or payment difficulties
- Council tax
- CCJs (county court judgements)
- Bankruptcy
- Consolidating your debts
The site actually offers quite a bit of advice on all of these topics and many more as it happens. The great thing is that you know the information on the site should be accurate and reliable since its written by/for the government. The first thing I’d say for people to do is to read up on how to do budgeting, again making the most of your current income!
Consolidating your debts into one larger loan can make your monthly payments a lot more manageable and if you sit down and do the maths you may find that the interest rate is lower overall and could therefore save you money. Anyway check out the government site and let me know what you think 
Thanks, this has really helped me! I have found it so hard to find information on fighting debt, helpful information anyway!
