However, it’s understandable that the period of recovery may be drawn out by the number of people who lost their jobs and remain unemployed. In addition to this, there is also the damage to consumer confidence that’s stopping us all going out and spending like we did pre-recession.
A recent study has revealed that almost one in three personal loans that were taken out by people in the UK over the last year were actually for consolidating their debt. Debt consolidation is an understandably attractive proposition for many facing mounting debt problems. As the name suggests, consolidation of your debts makes them easier to manage.
