Splitting up caused by debt. Two Birds with one stone.
posted on Tuesday, 2nd June 2009
It always amazes me how many people we help here at Debtaid who have split from their relationship because of the debt they are in.
This cycle of debt gets even worse when both people are living apart because it is so much more expensive to live alone.
In most cases simple advice is all that is needed to sort out the initial debt problem and therefore save the relationship. We ask "would there be a problem without the debt" the answer is usually "no". The gradual build up of debt forces pressures on relationships eventually which can be difficult to control.
The other point people are worries about is being responsible for the partners debt. This is simply not the case and even if they are married those debts remain the responsibility of the individual named on the account.
It's a good feeling to sort out the debt and therefore eliminate the problems in a relationship, and it can all be done very easily in most cases. There are loads of advice lines about including our own freephone debt advice line if this sounds a familiar situation pick up the phone and kill two birds with one stone.
