About us

A search of the Internet reveals two types of debt help sites - Government/charitable sites, which tend to target people on the verge of bankcrupty (IVA's, legal advice etc) or loan sharks sites which urge you to consolidate loans and borrow, not surprisingly, from them! There is much less advice however for people who are just 'getting by', gradually getting more into debt on their credit cards and generally spending more of their income on just paying the interest. Witness the average UK credit card holder owes more that £2,000 on their plastic!

Financial companies rely on the fact that most people don't have the time or inclination to straighten up their finances. Without financial indolence on the part of most people the banks would barely scrape a living. As it is, one UK bank is making nearly £10 billion per year - over £1 million per hour.

This site aims to give straightforward and concise advice on how to reduce your borrowings by offering simple guidelines and common sense suggestions.

The information that you read on this site is a useful starting point for your further research into what suits your particular 'debt cutting' and 'money-saving' requirements.

How this site is financed:

Articles are written from the point of view of helping people reduce their borrowings and save money. Once an article is finished we may consider an 'affiliate link' to an appropriate product provider. An affiliate link is a link which may generate revenue if they are clicked on. We believe that this does not compromise the site since articles are written separately and independently before paid links are sorted out. There are many articles and suggestions which have no affiliate or paying links at all.

If the best link is the best link but doesn't pay then it is the link we will use. The primary objective of this site is to help people - any income is a welcome bonus and goes a small way to repaying the investment in time that has gone into producing this site. If you feel uncomfortable about this then we would welcome hearing your views
