The UK is in a serious financial crisis, and unless you’ve been on a very long holiday you are probably more than aware of it. Whilst we are officially out of recession the country and it’s inhabitants are still struggling to regain their financial power.
Amongst the many affected, there is one particular section of our country who may not always be considered as victims of debt, and that is the middle class families.
According to the Credit Services Association (CSA) the recession is in many ways still here and that in the wake of the recession there is a wave of debt burdening middle class families, who whilst not exactly destitute will really struggle over the coming months and years.
Ways in which the countries debt issues have affected middle class families include a drop in income for one or both parents, a decrease in value of their buy to let assets, difficulty selling property whether business or personal and a general cash flow crisis. These factors have all contributed to a drop in available spending power, meaning many have turned to credit cards and/or loans to keep their homes, businesses and families afloat.
At the present time a large majority of those with these loans and cards are enjoying a relatively low interest rate, which means they have been able to make finance payments and other financial obligations , but if the interest rates were to increase then there is a high chance their finances could become unmanageable.
Credit Action recently reported that around 1,000 people each day are making moves to put some sort of debt management plan in place, with this set to increase, and unemployment also continues to be a problem, with well over a thousand redundancies occurring on a day to day basis.
Experts are urging those struggling with debts to seek professional advice sooner rather than later, and formulate a debt management plan to avoid losing their home and other assets.
