Self-help Resources
Providing knowledge and skills to empower people to manage their money and deal with problem debt is one of BDAC’s key aims.
To this end, we have developed some information notes and factsheets which may help you to manage your debts and ongoing expenditure positively in the future. These are free to download and we will be frequently adding to this library, so please keep checking for updates.
You can also download a template financial statement – list your income, outgoings and debts – to get a really good picture of your financial position. You can also use it as a budget sheet once you’ve seen where you could potentially save money.
