Many people have been very badly affected financially by the recession and it's aftermath, and in fact for many, financial mateers are as bad or even worst than before.

In the course of the last few years many people in employment witnessed a decline in their earnings due to a cut in overtime hours, having to accept a reduction in their salary in order to keep their jobs, while others were working three days instead of the usual five with their income cut in proportion to their working hours.

There were households who saw their income halved, as one member of the family was made redundant.

Lifestyles of a good percentage of the public changed to an enormous extent, as people tried to ecconomize as their earnings dropped. For example some who always ate in restaurants once or twice a week stayed at home and ordered carry out pizzas and Chinese and Indian meals instead.

Savings were made in shopping for groceries, as frozen food which is cheaper often replaced the fresh variety.


Holidays were severely curtailed when people who normally spent their holiday in four and five star hotels abroad opted for self catering breaks. Those who were in the habit of going on a self catering basis choose to stay in their own country.

However in spite of these of these ecconomies, there were many who fell into financial difficulties and were no longer able to cope with their personal loan and credit card debts.

This remains a common situation, and it is now time to grab the bull by the horns and do something to remedy this sad state of affairs.

Credit cards become difficult to manage especially when we consider that if the minimum payment of 3% of the outstanding balance is paid each month, the amount still owed hardly decreases.

It has aways be possible to take out a debt consolidation loan to consolidate all debts in credit cards, personal loans etc. which can save a lot of money, in addition to rendering finances easier to handle.

However at present, with so many people unable to meet the repayment of their debt, many lenders are now prepared to accept what is known as a full and final settlement which means they will allow the debtor to settle each debt for a lower figure than he actually owes.


Many lenders will accept half or even less of the balance owed.

This means that if someone has credit cards with balances totalling £34,000, the lender may allow him to reach a full and final settlement of the debt for £15,000 to £17,000.

Homeowners with this amount of equity in their property can raise the money needed for this settlement by taking a remortgage or a secured loan.

With remortgages in the market for less than 2% and secured loans from 7.9%, they are reasonable ways of paying off crippling debts that make life unbearable.
