squigglefishIn the news today, it was revealed that the UK government is looking to raise the court fees for debt proceedings.
I am rather disgusted by this. Court fees for debt cases, much like bank charges, serve to worsen the economic problems that debtors are under. Most companies pass these fees directly onto their debtors, further worsening a debt that they already are struggling to deal with.
If you live in the UK, please consider writing to your MP to object to these changes, that will only make already troubling times for people far worse still.
