Clear Debt - Check for Unenforceability
One of the first steps on the road to being clear of debt is one that many people miss. This is to check whether or not the debt you have is unfair and therefore unenforceable. Of the millions of credit agreements that are signed in the UK each year, it is estimated that many could be unenforceable and therefore, the debt could be cleared. Under the terms of the Consumer Credit Act, credit agreements have to meet a series of criteria, otherwise you may be able to tear up the contract.
