Gambling Debts: Where we can help

Have you built up a lot of unsecured debt - usually credit cards and overdrafts? Sound familiar?

These sorts of debts are easier to handle, the problem might lie where you have accounts with any venues such as casinos, bingo halls and bookmakers. These venues might not be so willing to accept a proposal to help you get out of debt, and legally it is very hard for them to pursue gambling debts through courts.

Increasingly the internet is seeing a surge of people addicted to online gambling and this is expect to continue rising.

 

Gambling Debts: Special care needed

There is no point getting rid of gambling debts only for them to build up again in future. It is essential that professional support and advice relating to gambling addiction is sought. Many gambling debts are built up rapidly due to taking bigger risks to try and cover increasing losses. This vicious circle rarely has a happy ending and because gambling debt is still a taboo subject, facing up to the problem and getting help is very hard and so debts continue to spiral.

Because we offer home visits - a free initial consultation which you will find invaluable - we can provide better support for the emotional side of debt with face to face practical help and advice. Our counsellors are very well trained and there is not a lot they haven't come across. Gambling debts can be overcome, and we can help be part of the overall solution.
