Avoid the New Year Debt Hangover
Christmas has become all about spending, and with the credit crunch hanging over our bank balances it can be very tempting to put everything on your credit card and then forget about it until the New Year. But be warned, you will end up with a very nasty New Year Debt Hangover.

Recent reports reveal that there has been a 35% increase in the number of enquiries about debt management, as well as an increase in the number of people seeking repossession advice due to falling behind on their mortgage or secured loan payments and ending up with mortgage arrears.
