Debt management companies up and down the UK are preparing themselves for a busy period, as the British public wait to hear as to whether they will have to endure a second rise in the base rate from the Bank of England.
It's feared by many financial experts that a second rise in interest rates for 2007 will sting many consumers into having to seek help from professional debt management services.
A spokesperson for Chiltern Debt Management commented: "Further interest rate rises could well have a catastrophic effect on hundreds of thousands of credit-reliant Brits".
