Debt and money

Don’t let debt and money problems mount up

  • Maximising your income – making sure you’re getting all the money you are entitled to
  • Minimising your expenditure – helping you keep outgoings low
  • Opening a bank account – especially if you’ve had credit problems
  • Payday loans – these can be easy to get but much harder to pay back
    dealing with your creditors
  • All the debt management options available to you (this will depend on your circumstances)
  • Applying to the Debt Arrangement Scheme (where this is appropriate for you)
  • Completing a bankruptcy form (where this is appropriate for you)
