Debt Advice Campaign for Scotland
A national debt helpline is being put in place to help Scots who are having problems with their debt management issues. Cash machines will begin to show adverts which promote the telephone line.
This aim of this debt advice campaign is aims to offer confidential and free debt advice for those who are suffering with financial problems due to the credit crunch and an increased cost of living.
The Scotland debt advice campaign has been backed with £382,000 of Scottish Government funding. Nicola Sturgeon, Deputy First Minister, believes this debt advice scheme is important as those who can no longer afford their debt need to face up to their financial problems. “Families across Scotland are feeling the pressure financially, with increases in food prices, rising bills and mortgage and lending uncertainty all adding to the headache.”
