Story of the Week ~ Debt Managements and Consolidation

All week you get to read my blogs about debt, what to do or not to do or what your options are. Today, and hopefully everything Friday, I want to share some of our client’s stories to give you all a chance to read about the people we have helped in the past and still continue to do now.

So here is this week’s story.

I find myself in this current financial position due to different reasons. They are my husband being made redundant twice this year. Firstly in January when he had to start claiming Income Support then after looking hard for work he started to work full time for a company on a lot less money than he previously earned.
He was made redundant again but this company continued to help us with giving my husband casual work. We thought this was better than returning to Income Support. But this income was still very low. At this stage I tried hard to work as much extra work (night shifts) as possible to make ends meet which made me feel very unwell and depressed. This has resulted in my marriage being very close to collapsing.
We also tried hard to contact companies to ask if we could have reductions in our outgoings like Council tax etc… But because my wage was of a certain level they said we were not entitled to any help. My husband has now secured a full time job again but it is still nowhere near the salary he previously earned.

Their IVA was approved a couple of months ago and they are now on their way to becoming debt free.
