I owe money to several companies. Which debts should I pay first?

Your debts can be split into two categories - priority debts and non-priority debts. It is always best to pay the priority debts first. These include debts such as mortgage, rent or council tax payments. Non-priority debts include things like credit card debts, student loans, and overdrafts. Whilst you should pay your priority debts first, it is important to let your non-priority creditors know about the problems you are facing and negotiate payment terms with them. One of our experienced solicitors can help you plan the best way to do this if you are unsure.
