118 118 Money Debt Help and Debt Advice
If you are of a certain age, you will remember 118 118 being a directory services company that pivoted into financial services in recent years. 118 118 Money started trading in 2013, offering unsecured personal loan products.
118 118 Money offers loans if you have a lower-than-average credit score and may not be able to borrow money from a high street bank. They do not require a guarantor, making them a widely used lender.
They typically provide loans from £1,000 up to £5,000, but due to their target demographic of applicants, it is not uncommon for us to speak to people struggling with debts, including a 118 118 Money loan.
If you have taken a loan from 118 118 money and are struggling to meet the minimum monthly repayments, debt advice and debt help are available.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, debt solutions such as a Debt Management Plan (DMP), Debt Relief Order (DRO), Bankruptcy and an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (or IVA) may be an option to consider. Hence, you must take debt advice from a debt advisor to establish your options and understand each debt solution’s advantages and disadvantages.
