Other Self Help Remedies
In many cases the solution to an individual's financial problems may be a lot simpler.
Chamberlain & Co are happy to spend the time with you discussing your financial situation and, where possible, come up with suggestions that might avoid the ongoing involvement of a third party in your financial affairs. For example:
- Are there family or friends that you could approach for a gift or interest free loan?
- Do you have any savings which could be used to reduce your debts?
- Could you save money by changing utility suppliers?
- If you believe that your financial problems are of a short term nature, you might wish to consider transferring the balances on your credit card(s) to those institutions offering 0% interest on balance transfers for an introductory period - this will not, however, be a solution for those individuals with long term financial problems due to the temporary nature of these low or nil rates of interest
- Is it possible to take on some additional part-time work in the evenings or weekends?
- If more than one member of the household owns a car, is it possible to raise some money by selling one of the cars?
- Are there non-essential items
that you can do without, such as satellite television, mobile phones
