Not sure if you've reach the point that you are ready to share your money woes with a professional? Here are some signs that your financial situation is out of hand:
*Falling behind with your mortgage
*Increasingly living off credit cards just to live out the month
*Taking credit from parties you would not normally consider
*Borrowing from family or friends to pay pressing creditors
*Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul
If this describes your life, the first step is to immediately cut back on expenses at every turn. Divert all possible income toward paying debt, or keeping interest at bay at the very least.
For some, that may not be enough to stem the tide of a financial tidal wave. If you find that the above symptoms fit your case and you see no relief in sight, do not hesitate to contact a debt management company for advice straightaway.
There are several avenues of debt management available to you. Should you find yourself in debt over £15,000 to several creditors, the best option may be insolvency. This will allow you to cut your debt by half and schedule repayment out over five or so years, depending on your total debt.
The matter handled by a qualified person known as an insolvency practitioner who is licensed to advise and act in relation to an insolvent person, partner, or company. Whatever your situation, regardless how dire you may think, the experienced insolvency practitioner will be quite familiar, so there is no need to feel embarrassed with all the details. They have heard it all. And withholding information will only fail to solicit the very best advice.
When you attend your meeting, take along a full list of your income, assets and liabilities, as well as your expenditure. The more firm details he has on your first encounter, the better able he will be to advise if insolvency is your best option.
