UK consumers should ensure they seek debt help advice as quickly as possible according to Transact.
Jamie Elliot from the group emphasised the importance of consumers seeking help if they're facing repossession.
He commented, "For those going through repossession, you must get advice and get someone to represent you if you are facing a repossession hearing."
He added, "This really can make all the difference. Don't put your head in the sand," he added.
