Many people are currently seeking advice on debt management and filing for bankruptcy. Times are bad right now, and while there are signs that they are approaching the corner, if not quite turning it as yet, people are still having great difficulty in meeting their mortgage repayments, and paying off loans and other debts.

Although people have had difficulty paying their mortgages and other loans since time immemorial, the past couple of years have been worse than normal. In fact, it was started off by this very problem: those with sub prime mortgages finding themselves unable to maintain their payments, and banks, building societies and other mortgage lenders going bust because of it. This sparked off a recession that led to an unusual number of job losses at all levels of employment, and with an even greater strain on the mortgage lenders.
