Debt Help for the Under 25 Demographic

Personal debt levels have risen dramatically in the United Kingdom over the past few years. Numerous factors have contributed to this increase. Current statistics have also showed that the demographic group of people under the age of 25 has also seen a rise in personal debt. Many of these people have sought assistance from consumer credit counselling services. Current estimates report that debt management clients under the age of 25 average 15,000 pounds of debt. Many debt counsellors blame this new debt problem on the easy access that young people have to credit cards. Additionally many young people do not realize the difference between cash money and credit cards. Many of these young people experiencing credit card debt also have student loan debt. Borrowing money in order to pay for their education has made it easier for them to use credit cards without realizing that one day that debt will have to be paid off.

Another alarming figure that has recently been reported for this demographic is the increased use of credit cards to pay off other debts. Additionally due to the high amount of debt payments many find themselves the line and credit cards for day to day survival.

There have been increased instances of bankruptcy within the under 25 demographic. This is alarming to many within the credit counselling industry. They feel that with proper debt management through their services, the under 25 group cannot only alleviate their debt problems but also receive an education in consumer spending which many young people today are lacking.

When securing the services of a consumer credit counsellor, the clients will provide the counsellor with all information regarding their debts as well as all sources of income. The counsellor will then negotiate with creditors for possible interest rate reductions or even eliminations. The counsellor will draw up a debt repayment plan that typically requires one monthly payment made by the client to the counsellor. In most cases this payment is significantly lower than the multiple payments paid by the client. It is then the counsellor responsibility to pay all the accounts with the monthly payment.

The number of people paying off their existing debts with credit cards has risen sharply. There is a lot of debt free advice available, perhaps more now than before. With the number of debt free organisations helping people, this should also have a positive effect on the economy.
