Soaps and Debt
When Pat Butcher fell into debt on Eastenders everyone knew exactly how she felt as she plundered through turmoil trying to make ends meet.
It has been said that one in six people have a similar viewpoint to money as Pat Butcher. Her intentions are normally always good but she sometimes waivers from her financial obligations and faces difficulties when the bills are due.
Without debt advice, many people are similar to this, they often spend money without thinking, they forget that they have monthly debt repayments and somehow think that some sort of miracle will save them when the monthly payments are due.
Many people are unaware of their credit score and have absolutely no idea how to find out what is being recorded about them
So which character do you resemble in soap land?
Are you a Pat Butcher or perhaps an Ian Beale from Eastenders? He is on the ball when it comes to money and always makes sure that his bills are paid on time.
He is the type of guy who you can never keep down for long, he never lets money worries push him over the edge and even though he has been known to make the odd serious mistake with money, he always gets right back in the drivers seat and controls his finances.
Soaps are a good way of having an inside view of how many of us cope with debt problems . If the subject is handled well, many can seek strength and encouragement when characters seek debt help and start to take back control of their lives.
