At a time of people being worried about their jobs, rising inflation and the possibility of rising interest rates our friends the ConDems rub some salt in the wounds by announcing cuts to debt advisors.
I don't think they have plans to open debtors prisons and workhouses yet but it's early days.
If you are worried about debt or know someone who is then can I direct you to CAP - Christians Against Poverty. http://www.capuk.org/home/index.php Christians Against Poverty is a national debt counselling charity with a network of 150 centres based in local churches. CAP offers hope and a solution to anyone in debt through its unique, in-depth service.
Users of CAP do not have to be Christians. CAP has avery good reputaation and Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis lists CAP on his web site as an organisation that provides debt help. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/loans/debt-help-plan#help
