Debt Management – Consumer Confidence Falls to 18 Year Low

There is a decidedly downbeat attitude surrounding the personal finances of consumers across the country and this is largely as a result of the debt management problems experienced by ever increasing numbers. Looking at the big picture, it certainly appears that there has been a ‘perfect storm' of debt, so to speak, whereby an accumulation of factors have come together to create a debt management nightmare of epic proportions. As such, consumer confidence has dipped dramatically and is now at its lowest ebb for almost two decades.

Debt Management – Dark Days

Not since the dark days of the early 1990's, when Great Britain was gripped by recession, has consumer confidence been so low. The issue of debt management is top of consumer's agendas when it comes to the current predicament and there is simply no longer the same level of disposable income available as almost all aspects of living spiral out of financial control. The number of consumers who are struggling to keep on top of their debt management plans and become debt free appears to suggest that another recession is looming on the horizon and this has inevitable implications for the level of consumer confidence exhibited across the country.

Debt Management – Impossible Costs of Living

If the spiralling costs of living remain unchecked then it becomes inevitable that, as more debt management plans fail, consumer confidence will continue to fall even further. Debt management schemes are being increasingly jeopardised by the decline in the housing market, astronomical utility bills and the growing costs of goods. Financial expert, Rachael Joy of Gfk NOP, states, “The future months may see even further falls in confidence, as increasing inflation and dropping house prices make reining in their spending even more likely to the UK consumer.” For those concerned about their debt management capabilities, it is always a good idea to seek advice from financial experts.
