Your financial problems may well have been caused by circumstances outside of your control that affected your income. Divorce, long term illness, redundancy etc can all have a negative effect on your income. However, it is more than likely that your attitude to borrowing and spending that compounded these problems.

All the time you have an income, the temptation is to borrow up to your spending limits because you feel you can service your loans and other borrowings. However, the moment something happens to stop or reduce your income levels, the problems start.

Once your debts start to mount up, charges, penalties and increased interest payments kick in. Now you are in a position where you have to rob Peter to pay Paul and in the most critical situations, you end up having to rob both Peter and Paul and end up paying non of your creditors.

You have financial problems, so your credit card and store companies compound your problems by adding late payment penalties, your mortgage company send you threatening letters and your bank gives you a good kicking whilst your down by adding punitive charges.

It is worth understanding that a bank, by it's very nature, cannot act in your interests. They are financial lenders and it is their job to screw you for every penny and the worse your situation, the more they will toughen their stance.

Christ kicked them out of the temple, which is why they ended up on the high streets. They make billions in profits every year, they are prepared to write off millions of pounds in bad debts when a major company goes under. But if you owe them a couple of grand, they will squeeze you until you can't breathe.
