There have been lots of big developments this week for people needing help with debt or struggling to take control of their finances. Here are some of the top stories. New research from moneysupermarket.com found that fewer people were permanently overdrawn in 2009 than in 2008 but the comparison site warned that rising inflation could see this group finding their personal debt harder to cope with. The cost of childcare is rising too, according to insurer LV=, making it more important than ever for families to get their debt management plans in order. Despite the failure of the unfair bank charges case late last year, Moneysavingexpert.com is urging who are still angry with their banks not to give up hope. The Financial Ombudsman Service offers a free and relatively successful way of getting bank charges back for people in financial hardship. But for people facing insolvency and bankruptcy things look to be getting harder. The government has announced that the costs of declaring bankruptcy or winding up a company are due to go up in May. And we saw the Financial Ombudsman Service in the news again at the end of the week releasing figures that show Lloyds TSB and Bank of Scotland to be the most complained-about of the high street banking names.

I have had problems with this company for years now. The debt is past sol and also past ability to report (it is at 8 years old now) and yet Midland Credit Management keeps reporting to the credit agencies. In the past three years of dealing with them they have NEVER validated and when i dispute with the credit report they mark it as disputed by consumer then a few months later Midland shows up again with another account number a new balance but the old one is never removed because they do not respond to the credit report. I still have no idea what they are trying to collect for except for a credit card I had in the early 90′s that is long since removed. I now have them listed 6 times all of which are listed as disputed by me but they are claiming to be in pre-litigation which they are not. How can I get them to go away and get the heck off my credit report? I have had no credit cards for 8 years and should have nothing on my credit report but they just wont leave.

I am considering making myself bankrupt because I am pregnant and due to go on maternity leave anyday now so all I will be living on is maternity pay. I am currently on a debt management scheme where I pay 100 quid a month (all my debts rolled into one) but thats the lowest repayment I can do a month. I currently rent a house with my partner and we share a car which he pays the monthly fee (we had to take out a loan for the car but he pays it back to his parents – they paid the loan off) on that. All our money goes on each month is rent/council tax/water/electricity/gas/loan/debt management/car insurance/fuel/food/contents insurance etc. We have literally hardly any money left over and this is only gonna get worse when I go on maternity. We could do the easy option and get a council house but I dont wanna scrounge. Would it be easier for me to make myself bankrupt so that will be 100 quid less a month I will have to pay and that will come in handy for the baby?

I am trying to find out who I contact about this. I am not in debt so it wouldn’t be credit counselling. All I want is someone to sit down take all our income and all our debt then put us on a budget so that we aren’t strapped. I want to know how much we are alotted each week without going over our budget and still making ends meet. What profession am I looking for? I tried Financial planner but that is mostly investments. I have tried debt management but I am not really “in” debt.I just need a plan!!
