The Lithium Market (By Chris Berry, MBA)

Don’t let the backlash of the Government’s Spending Review ruin your Christmas – do something about it now.

 That is the urgent message from national free debt solutions provider Payplan which forecasts a rise in people running into debt problems in the lead up to Christmas.
