I'm in debt and I'm not sure what to do next. Basically, I ended up taking on debt during the second half of 2009 to afford my costs. It's not much debt, but I've never been in debt before so I'm not sure what I should actually do! I have done a little bit of reading on the internet, and I do have several options. These are: Seek debt help The first option I discovered was to seek debt help. Basically, I could contact a professional debt adviser and ask for help with my debts. They would assess my situation, let me know what they thought, and offer me help based on their assessment. This kind of debt help is often provided for free, but can cost if it involves more than advice.

Debt collection practices in America are no longer easy on consumers who suffer for no wrong doing of theirs. Even when you owe a debt you have rights under the Fair Debt Collection practices Act (FDCPA). This federal statute was constituted and enforced by the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) to ensure fair debt collection practices. One of the violations of the FDCPA that debt collectors commit while attempting to collect payments from you is calling at your workplace. Calls at work are prohibited by the FDCPA. Section 805(a)(3) of the FDCPA states that debt collectors may not call you at work if they know your employer forbids such communication (for example if you or your employer verbally informed them). By continuing to contact consumers at work under these circumstances, debt collectors may put them in jeopardy of losing their jobs. In 2009, 13.6% of FDCPA complaints, or 11,973 complaints, were related to calls to consumers at work. This is an increase from 10.3% of FDCPA complaints, or 8,103 complaints, in 2008.
