Debt consolidation

Any copywriter worth his salt has to come up with extreme metaphors to describe the amount of personal debt in the UK. The current favourite is debt mountain, which really gives the impression of the scale of the problem. With personal debt running at 1.5 trillion and increasing, there must be concern as to what image can take the place of mountain if we get to 2 trillion. As its exploding, a debt volcano perhaps?

The very real personal debt issue is becoming a reality for more and more people as they exhaust their credit limits and find further sources of credit harder to come by. The need for advice has never been greater and it is no surprise that the majority of secured loans, including mortgages, arranged to cope with consolidation are sold by intermediaries, while the majority of unsecured loans are provided by high-street banks and building societies.
