This month saw the release of the new apple iPhone 4s, the newest technology in mobile communication and entertainment. With mobile phones like the iPhone 4 and other smart phones being worth more than five hundred pounds, the motivation that gang members and criminals have to steal a mobile phone has never been so high. The Metropolitan Police have reported that around 10,000 mobile phones are stolen each month. This incredibly high rate of theft is down to the fact that these expensive phones are very small, making them a perfect financial target for criminals.
Obvious Tips which are commonly ignored.
“Keep your phone secure in a bag or handbag if you are not using it and try to use your phone’s security lock code. Also take a note of the ESN (electronic serial number and the phone’s IMEI number. If possible, mark your mobile with address and postcode and, importantly, let the police know as soon as your phone is lost or stolen.”
- The Met Police.
There are also a number of things to avoid doing. For example, make sure you don’t attract unwanted attention to your mobile phone as you enter and leave public places like pubs and clubs. Don’t leave your phone in your car unattended and if you do, make sure it is locked away and out of sight.
Taking these safeguards should reduce the risk of theft, but won’t provide you with compensation in case your mobile phone is stolen, lost or accidentally damaged. It is possible, however, to insure your mobile phone and receive compensation for any damage, theft and airtime abuse.

My daughter has recently taken a new job role for a big company in Staffordshire, England. My wife and I helped her move in to her house not far from the office and I took charge of making sure she had a telephone and that she shopped around for a deal that would provide internet and calls for a reasonable price. During our stay we were able to log on to the internet and systematically work down through her direct debits to save her money. Buildings and contents was a must and getting a life insurance comparison was available for a few clicks on a mouse. When we left her she said she couldn’t believe just what savings were possible and what a worthwhile exercise it had been and she has certainly learned a valuable lesson which I hope she passes onto others. My wife has told me that since we’ve returned home my daughter has now saved money on her mobile phone too and you can probably understand how proud that makes me feel.

As this has always worried me sick I decided to speak to someone at my bank about this and they told me that although my father was right in many ways. It would be a really good idea to take out a couple of insurance policies that would cover me just in case something happened to me and I was unable to work, which would mean me not having enough money to pay for rent and things. What I have taken out is permanent health cover which pays me if I’m off long term sick and life cover which pays my partner if I die. They have the same cover too and my father thinks this is a really good idea. It is possible to shop around for the cheapest cover on the comparison websites like you do for car insurance.

If you have a similar problem to the one described here, then you require a debt release solution. There are many different debt release solutions which, depending on your circumstances, could provide a way out of your debt.
A very trusted, proven and common place debt release solution is a Debt Management Plan or DMP. For a variety of different reasons a Debt Management Plan with a professional debt management agency represents a fantastic opportunity to clear debt is a stress free, risk free and informal way. This is because the Debt Management Plan is an informal agreement made with you and your unsecured debt’s various creditors or recipients whether many or few. A debt management plan is a solution which enables the debtor to consolidate all of their many unsecured debt payments into a reduced monthly payment which is calculated to ensure that the amount of the monthly payment will always be affordable by your current financial situation and will also not place any risk upon essential outgoings such as homes, utilities, groceries and child support.
A professional Debt Management agency will claim your single monthly payment then administer and distribute this money accordingly throughout your various creditors. This debt management professional will also deal with any correspondence with each of your creditors throughout the duration of your plan.

Understandably people thought of little else apart from the monthly fee itself as it could make a difference to what they paid over a long period of time and their quality of life would depend on how much money was left at the end of each month. Life insurance was the other product that people would take out at this stage; most people arranging this through their financial adviser. It’s designed to pay out a sum of money that is at least the amount of money left on the mortgage at the time of death. However, not many people would ever take out permanent health cover, which to me seemed equally as useful and probably more so to single people. Over the years there has been a much greater emphasis placed by financial advisers on recommending this product as medical advances have meant that you are a lot less likely to die but could well live with an illness or incapacity that could stop you from working when there is still outstanding payments left on your mortgage.
