- The UK has found itself in emergency need of a debt management plan!
- Why?
- Because the countries debt problems have been allowed to go to such a point that drastic measures need to be taken to control the income and expenditure of the country or UK PLC as it is also known financially.
The above is exactly the same as when an individual or consumer leaves a personal debt problem to grow out of control without taking action to balance the income and expenditure into the household.
The longer the debt problem is left un-managed, the greater the problem becomes to manage!
Debt Management plans have been around in the UK since the early nineties, they offer consumers in personal debt an informal opportunity to pay off debts without having to borrow any more money to do so. Debt Management Plans came about due to people finding they could not obtain any further credit to consolidate, or put into one, all the other debts they had accumulated.
If you find you are in need of a debt management plan, the first thing you should do is contact a reputable debt management company. This way you can obtain advice regarding your personal situation. You should not be charged any fees up front when being advised and only if you decide to use that particular debt management service should you be asked to part with any money.
Debt Management in the UK is very common place in the personal finance industry and when a debt management plan is operated professionally by a reputable personal debt service, consumers can find that a debt management plan is a very useful solution to clear personal debt problems.
A debt management plan can help you to clear unsecured personal debts such as, credit cards and store cards, personal loans and overdrafts, catalogues, book clubs and even allow for you to repay car finance, mortgages and other commitments as part of the solution if your disposable expenditure allows for it. All secured debts such as car finance, mortgages and secured home loans have to be kept up and cannot be included within the debt management companies’ dealings with creditors, the debt management company must make an allowance within your expenditure for you to maintain these payments as they constitute your priority debts, this is how they form part of the overall debt solution that a personal debt management plan can offer.
Priority debts are debts that must be paid before others are taken into account, for example your mortgage payments must be taken more seriously than your credit card payments. It sounds so simple but the pressure that credit card companies can put on people who owe them money is often enough to make them prioritise the credit card repayment over the mortgage repayment.
This is why the press report horror stories daily about people who have lost their home due to failing to keep up with mortgage or rental payments.
