Private finance companies?

My parents are going through a rough patch financially.

I'm trying to help them out so I tried researching debt management companies. I'm drawing a blank, apart from the CCCS and those companies off the TV like Ocean Finance.

I might try putting them in touch with an Independant Financial Advisor, but apart from that, I don't know much more.

They're arguing a bit more now aswell, so is there a specialist counsellor I should look at? or would a regular counsellor be alright?

Thanks for your help

Chris

    NEVER touch a 'debt management company' that advertises on TV ... (who do you think ends up paying for the TV ads ??)

    Start with Citizens Advise .. or check out Direct Gov. site

    Try the Citizens Advice Bureau or one of the voluntary agencies.

    They may be able to stabilise the financial situation which would give a breathing space.
