Gordon Should Take His Own Debt Advice

Iain Dale 3:03 PM

DirectGov is a government run portal to government services. One of the pages on the site advises on debt issues. I wonder if the Prime Minister and Chancellor might take a gander at it today...

"If you're in debt and you are finding it hard to cope, it's important to deal with the problem straight away - the longer you ignore your debts, the worse the situation becomes."

"You may have little or nothing left to offer your non-priority creditors. You should still talk to them, explaining the situation; you may be able to tell them that you will pay them back at some point in the future - but don't make promises you can't keep."

Indeed.

All from DirectGov.
