London, Tuesday, 30st January 2007
According to Mr. Damon Gibbons, the chairman
of a leading debt campaigning charity 'Debt on our Doorstep', many UK
borrowers will go through a debt 'tipping point' in 2007, due to the
base rate increase implemented by the Bank of England. While some may
be tempted to go for secured loans in such circumstances, Mr. Tapp advises
otherwise. He states: "In most cases you pay over a longer period and
it costs more."
Instances of home repossessions and bankruptcies have increased manifold
over the past few years. This is because people are struggling with
their enormous debt repayments. When a person is entangled in multiple
debts, even a slight increase in the interest rate may increase the
debt burden significantly. Putting up their properties for sale or filing
for bankruptcy are the only options available for coping up with huge
debt repayments.
Debt consolidation is gaining popularity in the UK as a means adopted
by people to combine all their debts into one low-cost loan to facilitate
easy and efficient debt management. Careful selection of a online
debt consolidation loan can help a person save a significant
sum of money paid as interest against debt.
