Dealing with Debt

It is important to manage your money well. If not, you might find you have a credit or store card bill that you can’t pay, or other expenses that you can’t handle.

Getting into debt can be stressful. You need to do something to deal with the situation – to make sure it doesn’t get worse and to put it right. There are lots of people who can help you get back on track.

Remember you can always speak to your Personal Adviser if debt is affecting you.

Whether it’s your own debt, or you’re worried about a friend or family, these contacts can help you.
