Anyone can find themselves in financial distress. Various circumstances can lead to a lack of money and debt, for example if you lose your job, become ill or get divorced.
If you have financial problems and can no longer pay your outstanding bills, you should not wait, but get help.
Seek support if you can no longer pay your bills. There are ways to get out of debt.
