In the long term
Debt repayments can go on for a long time, and creditors will
want to be updated regularly, just in case your circumstances have
changed.
It is wise to keep your financial statement updated, and if things
improve you may be able to offer a higher rate of repayment to
your creditors. Always bear in mind however that you do not have
to offer increased payments if your situation has not improved!
There may be circumstances in which long-term repayments are not
a realistic idea, and it may be better to ask the creditor to
consider placing a long-term hold on the account, or to write
off the debt. Seek help from an adviser.
