With the recession at an end it was to be hoped that the economy of the country would improve over night and everything would be as it was in the past before the credit crisis raised its ugly head.
It was hoped that mortgages and remortgages which fell dramatically during the recession would miraculously improve as soon as the recession ended that the day after the official end of the credit crunch everyone would be virtually queuing up to obtain a remortgage or a mortgage.
It was stupid to think that from one day to another a financial miracle would happen and it certainly did not happen.
Things have not improved and remortgages and mortgages have in fact tumbled.
Remortgages in the UK in general and in Scotland in particular are at their lowest level since records started in 1993, and mortgage approvals are in the worse position since March 2001.
Many people struggled through the recession in the vain hope that the finish of the credit crunch would mean the end of their financial struggles.
The time for waiting for the economy to improve should now be completely at an end and steps should be taken to remedy the position regarding your debts.
Have a good hard look at your outstanding debts in credit cards, personal loans, add up all the balances and work out how much they are costing you each month.
You will most likely be totally shocked at the real extent of your debts.
The best way to make your finances simpler in addition to saving money is to arrange debt consolidation which rolls all the outstanding debts into the one single low interest payment each month.
For those who own their homes debt consolidation is best achieved by means of either a remortgage or a secured loan which then become in fact debt consolidation loans.
Debt consolidation loans by means of remortgages will cost from 1.84% and secured loans from about 9% and compared to the interest rates for credit cards the savings are more than obvious.
