Struggling to cope with debt?

Date: 10 January 2012

Free expert help is available

2012 promises to be another difficult year, with high inflation, rising household bills and low wage growth all chipping away at your disposable income.

The important thing to know is that if you are struggling to keep on top of your credit cards, loans and other debts - no matter how large or small - free help and support is available from debt charity Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS).

With nearly 20 years experience of giving free, non-judgmental and confidential debt advice, last year CCCS was contacted by around 400,000 people.

The charity offers a comprehensive service that looks at the person, not just the problem, and its debt counsellors are always there to help every step of the way until you become debt free.

If you are struggling to cope, you can get free advice by contacting the freephone CCCS helpline on 0800 980 8271 (open Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm) or visiting Debt Remedy, the charity's anonymous online debt counselling tool at http://www.cccs.co.uk/
