Now the laws about debt management vary around the world and this site is aimed at people in England and Scotland (the two countries do have different laws about it all, yes). There are a number of different ways that you can bring excessive debt under control: the first and most obvious being help with a mortgage which is in arrears, even if you've got as far as facing repossession hearings.

There are also useful things like IVAs, (trust deeds in Scotland) where you make an agreement with your creditors to change the structure of your debts. Essentially, you show that there's no way that you can pay all that you owe: your creditors, realising this, agree that half a loaf is better than insisting upon a whole loaf and getting nothing.So you might end up cutting the amount you owe, or spreading it across more time to bring down monthly payments, or even get a better interest rate on some debts.

But the real point is that there are many ways in which you can deal with debts that threaten to overwhelm you and it's worth clicking through that link to see how the professionals can help you.
