Get Help if Mounting Bills are Making it Difficult to Keep Up

The IVA Advisory Centre encourages struggling consumers to take advantage of the wide range of help available if they feel mounting bills are affecting their ability to keep up with their other essential costs.

    MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, April 03, 2011 /Personal Finance PR News/ -- The IVA Advisory Centre has encouraged struggling consumers to take advantage of the wide range of help available if they feel mounting bills are affecting their ability to keep up with their other essential costs.

The comments come in response to a spate of price rises for consumers in recent months. Towards the end of last year, many saw their energy bills increase sharply - with further increases anticipated for this year by some analysts - and at the end of February, water industry regulator Ofwat announced that water bills would increase by an average of 4.6% from 1st April 2011, bringing the average annual bill to GBP356.

An expert at the IVA Advisory Centre commented:

"Rising wholesale costs and January's increase in VAT have led to higher bills for all kinds of things, from energy bills to broadband. For the many people already struggling, these increases are no small matter. It's simple enough to switch to a cheaper provider these days, but that can only help to a certain extent.

"We urge anyone worried about their ability to keep up with their bills or other financial commitments to get in touch with an expert as soon as they can.

"There is a wide range of help and advice available. In less serious situations all that may be required is advice on budgeting, benefit entitlements or a few pointers on ways to cut back. In more serious circumstances, advice on the various debt solutions may be needed. Whatever the case, it's never too late to get help."

The IVA Advisory Centre offers expert debt advice, as well as IVAs and a range of other debt solutions for people facing financial difficulties.
