County council facing 'effective bankruptcy'

"If we don't get what we need [in terms of extra government help] then a Section 114 Notice will come in, which is effective bankruptcy. We'd then get administrators come in, in effect - they'd then make a plan for where the money gets spent in Worcestershire. It would be a catastrophe. We're going to have to halt projects that were put into the budget by the previous administration, things that maybe were 'nice to have', but we can't afford them."

Paying Only the Minimum on $5,000 in Credit Card Debt Could Take Decades to Clear

Americans collectively owe $1.233 trillion in credit card debt, with nearly half of all cardholders carrying balances month to month at an average APR of 22.83%. Despite recent Federal Reserve rate cuts, borrowers face a persistent financial squeeze because credit card issuers maintain their markup regardless of policy changes, meaning lower Fed rates don't translate to meaningful relief for consumers paying double-digit interest on revolving debt.
