Debt

Staying debt free is the best option, but unfortunately many of us are forced to borrow and then hit hard times and struggle to pay back what we owe. Never feel overwhelmed and realize that there are thousands of others, if not millions, who have had the same experience. Here you can find help, and please use our Advice Guides to get an idea how to tackle your problems. The ABC are not financial advisers and we do not hold a Consumer Credit Licence. You should always seek expert help, avoid borrowing more to solve your problems and NEVER borrow from Loan Sharks (unlicensed lenders) operating outside the law.

If approached by unlicensed lenders contact Trading Standards Illegal Money Lending Team on:
