Martin Lewis talks about debt problems and gives solutions. Martin gives his definition of “Debt Crisis” and “Problem Debts” outlining solutions for both and where to get help. you also get a checklist for cutting the cost of repaying debt. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/loans/debt-solutions
Problem Debts Checklist:
1. Shift debts to cheaper rates with a credit card balance transfer.
2. Check out a personal loan to get a lower rate vs. existing credit cards. This can also help with the structure of repayments (Good if you have poor discipline in sticking to credit card minimum repayments).
3. Check your credit rating. Try to improve your credit rating.
4. Do the credit card shuffle.
5. Use your savings to pay off your debts after you have moved debts to lower rates. If you have any savings, use them.
6. Remortgaging. (not a massive fan of this one as it extends the length of the loan which may cost more).
7. Secured loan. (Make sure this is suitable for you! It may cost you more if it’s not suitable!!)

Budget, Budget, Budget, Budget!

Budgeting is crucial for climbing your way out of debt!

List your income against your expenditures to see if you are living beyond your means.

Here's a thought. It's a bit radical and "out there" but stay with it. Here it is. Don't spend more money than you've got. I know it's old fashioned and sounds ridiculous – but it works well.

Yes you can do something about it because where there's a will there's always a way. Last year I have some issues, I even had a very low credit score which i don't know it manage to happen because I paid all my bills at the right time and then by January early this year i came across a man giving kudos to job well done on a blog to a network engineer who helped him, so I took the risk of telling him about my credit problem and in 4 days he helped me clear my owned debt for the past 2 months and my bad credit report. You can email him Via jaylouis989@gmail-com

Prime Captain says:

Cheers for this, I have been researching "consumer credit repair agency" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about – Fanrayson Creditor Indemnization – (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.

Samantha Young says:

Tackling problem debt aggressively possibly is better but needs self discipline. By shifting debt to balance transfers for 0% period may cause long term problem without self discipline and cutting back on your budget .
Only way is to cut credit cards up , budget , have no spend and pay down debt. This is from personal experience and others around me who try to consolidate debt and thinking they have paid their debt .
Do not borrow credit to pay off debt!

Scott Geoffrey says:

Hello, about 3 years ago I maxed out all of my credit cards and struggled paying what I owed on them. I contacted a company called Step Change and they have been helping me, I now only have about 1 year left and then I would of paid them all back. My question is, is there anything I can do to build up my credit score while still paying off these credit cards? Will I be able to get another credit card now I have proven that I can pay then back over the last 3 years? Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks in advance.
