Preparation key to avoiding Christmas debt

Financial solutions company Think Money have warned consumers to be careful over the amount of debt they incur over the festive season, in order to avoid potential debt problems in the midst of an economic recession.

They have also advised those consumers who do rely on credit to act early and tackle any debts before they have the chance to grow, and to be selective over the types of credit used in order to prevent the debts from becoming unmanageable.

For many families in the UK, including those who are usually comfortable financially, the Christmas season has become associated with debt. The tradition of spending large amounts of money on food and gifts has meant that large numbers of households fall into debt every year, even if it means spending a large part of the following year repaying those debts.

Indeed, a survey taken earlier this year by Savebuckets.com suggested that one in four Christmas borrowers were still repaying their Christmas debts in the following October – nine months after the money was originally spent.

A debt expert for financial solutions company Think Money commented: "In today's society, many households actually expect to get into debt in order to get through the Christmas season – which can put them at risk of debt problems in the future. It's much safer to focus more on how to avoid falling into debt – and with the right preparation and attitude, it is very much possible to do that."

The spokesperson added that staying out of debt over the Christmas period does not necessarily have to mean cutting back on costs. "The households who are best prepared for the Christmas period are those who have thought about it long in advance and have been saving throughout the year. By saving just a relatively small amount each month, it's quite possible to save enough to cover all the costs involved, without having to compromise.

"However, it seems that it is currently more common to pay with credit in the run-up to Christmas. This may have been fuelled by the relatively easy access to credit of the past few years, although due to the credit crunch, this may be a little more difficult this year."

The spokesperson also said that the type of credit used can be crucial to consumers' ability to repay the debt. "For those consumers who do rely on credit over the Christmas period, choosing the right form of credit is a simple step that can make all the difference.

"For example, it's generally unadvisable to make large purchases on credit cards unless the buyer is absolutely sure they will be able to repay the debt in a short space of time. The APR on credit cards is typically very high, which means the debt can grow very quickly unless it is repaid promptly.

The Think Money spokesperson added that anyone finding themselves struggling with debt should seek debt advice straight away. "There are a number of debt solutions that can help to minimise outgoings and/or help to reduce debts, such as debt consolidation or an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement). We urge anyone in serious debt to seek professional debt advice as soon as possible."

Debt management company welcomes fall in inflation

Welcoming the recent fall in inflation, debt management company Gregory
Pennington highlighted the significance of this drop to people struggling to
manage their debts.

In October, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) measure fell from 5.2% to 4.5% –
the largest month-on-month fall in 16 years. Having said that, the reading
of 5.2% was the highest reading in 16 years, so even a reduction of 0.7%
falls far short of returning inflation to a 'normal' level.

"Remember the Bank of England's target for CPI inflation is just 2%," said a
spokesperson for the debt management company. "At 4.5%, today's rate of
inflation still means prices are rising more than twice as fast as the Bank
would like – this reduction simply means that the speed with which things
are getting more expensive is slowing.

"More to the point, CPI has been over the Bank of England's 2% target ever
since October 2007, so today's consumers are still dealing with the
cumulative impact of a full year of high inflation. And the timing makes
that elevated cost of living particularly dangerous: today's consumers are
also dealing with record levels of personal debt, as well as rising
unemployment."

As a result, there are many people finding it hard to manage their debts:
trying to stretch a shrinking budget further each month. "For anyone in that
position, any decrease in inflation can't come fast enough. They'll be
relieved to see some expenses – such as petrol – coming down, but many other
things are still far higher than they were a year ago. A recent article in
The Guardian, for example, reported that a basket of 24 staple items in the
UK's biggest three supermarkets now costs 17.8% more than it did last
November."

Looking forward to next year, it seems the Bank of England is expecting
inflation to eventually drop below its 2% target, and perhaps as low as 1%.
"This is good news for two reasons," said the spokesperson for the debt
management company. "Not just because it'll mean prices are (relatively)
coming down, but also because it could allow the Bank to cut the base rate
even further.

"Clearly, a lower base rate could help many people currently struggling with
their finances. People on tracker mortgages will see the most immediate
benefit – many of them have already seen their mortgage payments drop by
hundreds of pounds compared with July, when the base rate stood at 5.75%."

Nonetheless, too little inflation can be as dangerous as too much – and
we're now facing the possibility of deflation in 2009. While economists
agree that a short stint of deflation would not be a problem, any sustained
period of shrinking prices could seriously damage the economy.

Deflation means a decrease in the price of property, shares and goods of all
kinds. People therefore wait to buy expensive items, as it only makes sense
to wait until the price comes down. Falling demand means companies sell less
and are forced to reduce their workforce.

"It's clear the Bank of England has a delicate balancing act ahead of it:
when it comes to normal people managing their debts, deflation could be as
big a danger as high inflation."
