Help! Our children are in debt
August 25, 2011 by Alexandra Kerr · Leave a Comment
Our Helpline team receive hundreds of calls each day from worried people struggling with debt, along with parents who are concerned for their children who are in financial difficulty. I recently spent some time observing calls and I was extremely surprised at the number of calls from concerned parents. This made me want to look at this is more detail.
When a parent calls Payplan, we can offer them basic debt advice that they can pass onto their son or daughter. However because youre calling without their knowledge and therefore havent given their permission for you to act on their behalf, it can be difficult for us to give you any specific advice.
If your son or daughter is in financial difficulty it can be tricky for you to help them. I would say the first thing to do is sit down and speak to them, and find out how and why they got into debt in the first place.
