Article Added: 26th December 2001
The UK National Insolvency Helpline has officially pledged its support to all advice centres that face closure.
TIn the UK many advice agencys face closure due to lack of funding.
Quite often advice centres which help thousands of people a year have to close their doors because of a lack of funding.
Managers at the closing advice centres are claiming that the local Councils have refused to aid the services.
The UK National Insolvency and Debt Advice helpine has pledged to re-route all debt enquires to its natioanal telephone helpline operation on 0800 074 6918.
The UK Natioanal Debtline Insolvency Helpline fear that, without the service, many people will find it harder to escape debt.
The UK Insolvency Helpline offers free, confidential, impartial and independent advice.
Ian Richards from the debtline said: " We have offered this lifeline because we fear some people are going to turn to perhaps taking out further borrowing or turn to fee-charging companies.
"We don't believe that, in the long term, that will help them.
"It may well be that people actually have nowhere to turn."
