May 10, 2006 - For a growing number of people in the UK, debt is becoming an unfortunate fact of life. This problem has been largely fuelled by loan and credit card companies which encourage people to overspend and run up debts on which they can charge high rates of interest.
The severity of this problem has been demonstrated by a recent study which found that customers pay on average 9% too much on loans from “doorstop lenders”.
Clear Start, the National Consumer Debt Service, has introduced a series of initiatives designed to tackle the UK’s burgeoning debt problems.
The organisation specialises in offering free debt help and advice from independent experts. Consumers have the option of calling a free phone number or requesting a call back so that they can discuss their problems with a trained professional.
The Clear Start experts are able to suggest ways of clearing debt as well as helping out with simple budgeting exercises.
In addition to its free advice service, Clear Start also enables people to compare debt solutions online and learn more about the different ones available to them.
Unlike many sites which can overwhelm the consumer with too much information, Clear Start is dedicated to offering easy to read online material. And anyone who does need help or more details, can contact an adviser free of charge.
