Do You Have a Debt Problem?

While millions of families in the UK struggle with their finances, only a few of them seek professional financial advice. This is because many people are unaware when their debts have become a problem.

It can be difficult to pinpoint when you have a debt problem. To help you decide, here are some of the common financial warning signs:

  • You’re using credit for household essentials, such as food shopping and car fuel.
  • Most of your income goes on paying your debts.
  • You live in your overdraft.
  • Your credit cards are maxed out every month, yet you’re only making minimum repayments.
  • You’re dipping into your savings in order to pay the bills.
  • You’re in arrears for credit card or loan payments, household bills, or mortgage or rent payments.
  • You rely on high-cost credit, such as payday loans, until your next paycheque.
  • You’re exhausted from working overtime, or holding two or more jobs.
  • You’ve cut your spending as far as possible and you still can’t make ends meet.

If any of these warning signs apply to you, you may have debt problems and should seek professional advice before things spiral out of control.
