How to Survive a Credit Squeeze

Recent research indicates that 15.4 million UK residents cannot even quantify their own debt to within £100. This is an amazing fact and not to be taken lightly.

The situation is worst among the 18 to 24 year old age group, where 41% do not even know their current debt burden to within £500!

The total personal debt on credit cards, mortgages and loans of everyone in the UK has finally exceeded the total value of the whole UK economy for the first time.

Also it is stimated that over 8.5 million UK residents will have been refused credit by major lenders by the year 2011.

If getting credit gets harder, and it will if the credit sqeeze currently hitting America reaches the UK, then you need to be prepared.
