What to check before missing payments
Do not wait until every account is overdue. A useful review starts with the amount owed, minimum payments, due dates, salary or business income, and the debts most likely to trigger legal or collection action.
- Separate active credit cards, personal loans, housing arrears, car hire purchase, and company guarantees.
- Mark which payments are still current and which are already late.
- Avoid taking a new expensive loan without a repayment plan.
