Need help to deal with your debts?
Independent Money Advice - money advisers can discuss the options available to you to deal with your debts. You must not ignore your creditors or your debts. Take action as soon as possible and there may be ways to improve your situation. These can include making informal arrangements with your creditors, entering the Debt Arrangement Scheme or setting up a trust deed. You can also apply for your own bankruptcy.
Money advisers can look at your individual circumstances and help you decide what is best for you. They can help you decide if you are able to make any payments and help you negotiate with your creditors. They can assist you or represent you at court hearings. They can also advise you on ways to maximise your income and how to deal with emergencies, for example, if your bank account is frozen or your gas is cut off.
