Rising household costs could pressure people in debt


Written on August 9, 2010 – 5:32 am | by David Jones

The UK may be about to see a rise in food price inflation that could put extra pressure on already-stretched household finances, The Independent reports.

Kantar Worldpanel, a market research firm, has forecast a rise from 2% to 4% in grocery-price inflation by the end of the year.

The firm attributes this to growing wholesale prices of things like wheat and barley around the world.

The forecast comes at the same time as similar reports suggesting petrol and clothing prices could rise in the near future, while house prices have started to fall once again.

An expert at Debt Advisers Direct said: “There are a number of things on the horizon that could put pressure on people`s finances, and this will be especially worrying for people who are already struggling with their finances.

“As such, now is the time for people to do what they can to get their finances in order, including taking care of any debts that are likely to be a burden as other costs rise.”

Solicitors, Debt Collection Firm, Is There Any Alternative When A Small Enterprise Has An Outstanding Invoice With A Large Enterprise?


Written on August 7, 2010 – 2:20 pm | by Antony Clark

In the current financial climate and with financial institutions still being reluctant to offer money to small businesses, a small business awaiting payment for work completed oritems supplied may think twice before dealing with legal practices or Debt Collection companies, especially if these have been used in the past. While legal practices and Debt Collection companies which specialise in commercial Debt Collection may offer a high quality service, this does come at a estimated price of some 8% to 10% of the debt, plus expenses and further charges if the case goes to court.

But just suppose the small business had access to the techniques used by Debt Collection companies and could compose good quality Debt Collection Letters all for a single one-off cost of under £100, would they be wise to ignore it? They would be able to do this with Debt Collection Software and provided they pick out carefully the small business may well have become equipped with the equipment to handle future Debt Collection at very little extra cost. Of course, the small business will have to allocate resources in order to take on the Debt Collection in-house which may be a problem, especially if the business is staffed with just the right number of members of staff.

Over 50s can`t afford to enjoy retirement because of debts


Written on July 31, 2010 – 9:06 pm | by David Jones

According to a study by Saga Equity Release, 17% of over 50s are left with very little money to enjoy their retirement once they have repaid their debts, while 41% of retirees find repaying their debts difficult, headlinemoney.co.uk reports.

However, more and more over 60s are now taking out equity release plans to unlock money from their homes so they can enjoy a `better quality of life in retirement`.

Figures show that 13% of over 55s are retiring in debt, and 40% of this age group have used equity release as a way to repay these – leaving them `better off in real terms` and free to enjoy their retirement.

Executive Chairman of the Saga Group, Andrew Goodsell, said: “This study dispels the concept that equity release is the last resort for those who have nowhere else to turn. We have found that people are increasingly likely to use equity release to clear debts, enabling them a better quality of life in retirement.”
