Bite the bullet and take professional advice
There are literally millions of people in the UK who are on the edge of potential financial disaster but for one reason or another they appear to be doing very little to help themselves. If you feel that your financial situation has worsened over the last few months and is slowly moving out of control then you need to bite the bullet now and take professional advice.
While there was a stigma attached to such words as IVAs and bankruptcy these are more common today than they ever have been. Your situation may not warrant such a drastic turn of events and may simply need refinancing on a longer-term basis. Either way, if you leave your financial problems unattended for a period of time they will worsen and they could, as many have felt, affect health and personal relationships.
Rather bizarrely, more and more people in the UK would rather fight a losing battle than take professional advice regarding their finances, something which may be down to ego or embarrassment. The truth is that it is the clever ones who take advice when their situations start to worsen and the more foolish who continue to fight a losing battle which they know in their heart of hearts they can't win.
