Debt has a significant social stigma attached to it and never more than when we are falling behind; this is something ingrained into us from a very early age and it is not that long ago that being a debtor who could not pay their way was an extremely serious state of affairs.

Fortunately the days of sending people to prison over debts is long over and legislation has continued to develop especially in the last 10 years to allow for a more realistic approach to resolving debt issues.

Some debt is inescapable – if you wish to buy a home, typically you need a mortgage and the same applies for buying a car or perhaps you are investing in a business. With the best will in the world it is all too easy to find yourself in a distressing situation and even when you are on top of your payments, the stress of doing so can be completely overwhelming and indeed, detrimental to your health.

It is important to recognise the effect debt and debt worries is having on your life and not just you; how you deal with debt related worries will impact your family, your job and every other social relationship you have.
