Charity advises retirees to reduce debts

Charity advises retirees to reduce debts

- Tuesday, 1 September 2009

The UK charity Money Advice Trust has recommended that retirees pay as much of their debt off as possible.

People struggling with debts might consider speaking to a debt advice specialist.

The charity made its comments following recent news from Scottish Widows that indicated there had been a significant increase in debt burden among the elderly.

Average non-mortgage debt among the over-65s rose from £5,930 in 2007 to £7,344 in 2009.

Becky Wilks, spokesperson for the Money Advice Trust, said that owing to the fact that a pension does not increase, people should ensure they have saved sufficiently.

She commented: "For those approaching retirement, it is important to try and pay off your debts because whatever you have paid into your pension now is not going to increase whereas if you are still working you may get a better job or receive a pay rise."

The government is set to review the default retirement age next year.
