Debt is a trap that is very easy to get into. Is debt consolidation a good idea? That depends.
Debt can prove challenging to get oneself out of. Whether through reckless spending habits or the gradual accumulation of debt responsibilities, too many Americans are mired in hopeless levels of debt.
The general rule of thumb for attaining appreciable financial wealth is to have several income streams. That way, your chances of becoming wealthy improves dramatically.

Following confidential enquiries, investigators from the Insolvency Service found that GoNutri targeted elderly and vulnerable people, bombarding them with cold calls and high pressure sales techniques to coerce them to purchase vitamin and mineral supplements.

NAGPUR: The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has admitted an insolvency petition against a Chandrapur-based company over a liability of Rs2.81 lakh.

Business rescue practitioners for Tegeta Exploration and Resources – which is under business rescue – have filed for the liquidation of Oakbay Investments in the high court in Johannesburg.
