Debt
We meet a lot of students who have problems with their finances and feel their situation is out of control. The sooner debt problems are dealt with the less likely they are going to result in a crisis. The Money Doctors service aims to help you deal with your finances so you are in control of them and they are not in control of you.
- Budget, budget, budget: it’s the only way. Be realistic: don't say you spend £20 on your social life if you really spend £100.
- Download a personal Budget Planner now.
- Make an appointment with the Money Doctors to discuss your problems. Don't ignore the issue; we can help you.
