        <p>Credit cards are exploiting people now that we are relying on them for even mortgage payments. Things are bad when we use them to pay our mortgage and the last thing we need is unexpected interest rates. Is anyone happy with their credit card compan? If so please tell me who it is. The run up to Christmas is a daunting prospect but it&#8217;s not worth getting further into debt. I advise you to make apologies to family and keep your head above water. Or am I alone in this?

Debt Management
</p>
<p>
One of the worst aspects about having serious debts is the feeling of being out of control. Debt Management can be a way of putting you back in control of your finances. But you should check first whether an IVA or another option may be more appropriate. You can do this free by calling
</p>
<p>
Fair Deal On Debt.
</p>
<p>
As a registered community interest company, we&#8217;ll ensure you only get honest, impartial counselling. If your debts are not too large and you have a regular income, then Debt Management could be an option for you. This involves you paying a regular amount each month to a company who handle negotiated repayments to your creditors, usually over a longer period and with lower repayments. Take control of your debts
<br />
Regardless of what the right solution is for you to clear your debts, we&#8217;re here to deliver
<br />
counselling about all your possible options - from IVA to loans, so that you can make the right
<br />
decision that best suits your individual situation.
</p>
<p>
How large are your debts?
</p>
<p>
In advising you on the appropriateness of management plans, we&#8217;ll need to know how large your
<br />
debts are and whether you have a regular income. If you have serious debts, it&#8217;s possible that an
<br />
IVA or bankruptcy will be more appropriate.

        <p>The best way to manage holiday debt is not to go on holiday in the first place. It’s not a popular choice, but tough times call for tough decisions, and around 1 in 4 British adults has decided not to take a holiday this year, according to a new study on holiday spending by CreditExpert.
</p>
<p>
Giving up holidays may be an unpopular option, but for anyone struggling to manage their debts, it’s often the most obvious expense to cut. After all, unlike rent / mortgage, gas bills, petrol, food, etc. holidays aren’t actually essential. 
</p>
<p>
So while it’s worrying to see 24% of British adults foregoing their holiday plans this year, it’s far more worrying to hear that 2.8 million ‘will jet into the red just to get a break’. “A good holiday can help people relax and recharge their batteries,” said a spokesperson for debt management company Gregory Pennington, “but a household budget can only stretch so far. When it comes to a choice between going on holiday and paying essential bills, there’s no question about which is more important. For anyone in financial difficulty, their number-one priority should be managing their debts and paying them off as fast as possible. The sooner they do this, the sooner they’ll be able to go on a holiday that isn’t ruined by worrying about money all the way through.”
<br />
    
<br />
For many, of course, simply avoiding a holiday isn’t enough. Even without the added expense of a holiday, many people find their monthly budget can’t cover their basic expenses – the rising cost of living is only part of the problem, as many people are also struggling to manage record levels of personal debt. Once their monthly debt repayments exceed their disposable income, their situation can rapidly go from bad to worse, unless they reduce their monthly debt repayments through a professional debt solution such as a debt consolidation loan or debt management plan.
</p>
<p>
Debt reduction through debt management
<br />
A debt management plan can reduce someone’s monthly debt repayment without any need for further credit. It works like this: the individual talks to a debt management organisation, who will then talk to their creditors, negotiating lower monthly payments and asking them to freeze interest and waive charges. By reducing monthly repayments like this, debt management can help someone pay off their actual debts (rather than struggling to keep up with interest charges) and help them avoid running up new debts, by freeing up the money they need for their ongoing living expenses.

        <p>We have recently redesigned our website and would like to know what you think of it. Also, we have launched our Bank Charges business which is busy reclaiming money for people who have been mis-sold payment protection insurance policies, been over charged on credit card and mortgage fees as well as unfair bank charges.
</p>
<p>
We&#8217;d appreciate you taking the time to tell us what you think.
