CREDIT card customers will find it tougher to get plastic under drastic new changes that will force them to repay

Many people bury their head in the sand, choosing to ignore mounting bills and missed payments this can be incredibly stressful and have a significant impact on happiness, health and wellbeing.

That being said, its important to do something about it before it gets out of hand. From my own personal experience, figuring out a solid way to pay back what you owe and getting yourself out of this situation (for good) is extremely liberating and freeing.

Here are my tips for ending the cycle:

1. Consolidate your debt

If you have more than one credit card or loan, the first step is to roll them into one. This way, you just have one debt to pay off each month, rather than having to juggle multiple deadlines. You may also be able to receive…

CREDIT card customers will find it tougher to get plastic under drastic new changes that will force them to repay their debts in just three years.

From January 1 cardholders signing up to a new card must prove they can repay the total limit within this time frame.

Latest Reserve Bank of Australia data shows credit card limits hit a record high in April at $153.9 billion – on an average of about $9400 per card.

Under the changes implemented by the corporate regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, banks have less than four months to roll out the new rules.

Consumer groups believe the move is a huge win for credit card customers because it will lead to less people running into financial heart…

Local Aussie ice-cream maker Bon Appetit Australia has entered voluntary administration after ongoing issues with the business, with creditors reportedly owed over $1 million.

Established back in 1980, Bon Appetit is a family business that started out as a small Melbourne gelateria on Chapel Street. In 2011, the company began producing and supplying ice cream and gelato to a number of Australian businesses through the Bottega del Gelato and Brown Cow Ice Cream brands.

The company is the main producer of ice cream for the Dairy Bell ice-cream stores based in Victoria, and also runs a frozen and packaged fruit and jam brand called Berry King.

The company acquired Dairy Bell back in 2015 after the iconic local ice-creameries shut t…

People in Plymouth are among the most likely in the country to become insolvent, new figures have revealed.

A total of 851 people in the city either went bankrupt, took on a debt relief order (DRO) or accepted an individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) to manage their debts in 2017.

That works out as one insolvency for every 248 adults living in Plymouth – the second highest rate in England and Wales combined behind Stoke-on-Trent.

To put that in perspective, the average for England and Wales was one in 469.

In some parts of London and the affluent south – such as Kingston upon Thames – the rate was as low as one in 1,111.

The data was published by The Insolvency Service under Freedom of Information laws.

Simon Romana, also known as Hai and Haimana, founded Ira NRG in 2010 to turn sewage into electricity. The company folded soon after.

An energy company, whose founder claimed he could turn sewage into electricity, has finally met its demise, eight years after it was banned for selling shares without a prospectus.

The liquidation of the company Ira NRG has left everyone involved  even the liquidator  out of pocket.

Ira NRG was founded in March 2010 by Simon Romana, also known as Hai and Haimana, who claimed he could turn sewage into electricity through a process called gasification.

He had previously fou…

It was a tale of three murders but only one victim and a bitter falling out between a father and daughter.

Tiffany Yiting Wan and her Singapore-based father, Ah Ping Ban, had been on the same page when they told detectives they had no idea who had killed their mother and former wife Annabelle Chen.

But charged with murder and put in front of a Supreme Court jury over the past three weeks, each of them set about saving their own skin.

If Ban was to be believed, his former wife whose body was found in a suitcase floating in the Swan River died at the hands of her daughter on or about June 27, 2016.

This was scenario one. It had played out in the early hours of the morning, when a blazing row erupted after Wan told Ms Chen she had been in c…

Its not coincidence that Gibsons long-awaited line of new guitars, dropped this week, touts conservatism and a back-to-basics approach: The Nashville instrument-maker is in crisis mode as it hammers out a company restructuring, battles supplier lawsuits and hunts for a new CEO.

Gibson declared bankruptcy in May after admitting that its attempts to branch out into a guitar lifestyle brand including acquiring an expensive home and audio electronics business in 2014 had saddled it with untenable debt, forcing it to unburden itself and refocus on its core business of musical instruments. CEO Henry Juszkiewicz told Rolling Stone at the time that the companys bankruptcy and restructuring would help it clean the slate and concentrate 10…
