Priority Debts Vs. Non-Priority Debts
Debts are generally categorised as ‘priority’ and ‘non-priority’ debts. This idea is self explanatory – priority debts must come above non-priority ones.
They are considered this way because priority debts, such as mortgage and utility bills, carry much more serious consequences if you do not pay them.
Once you have made your payments to your priority debts, you should then start to look at your non-priority ones. The order in which you then decide to pay these is down to you, but it’s worth addressing the ones that carry the highest interest rate first, so that the total amount you owe does not spiral upwards.
