wifes parents in debt - where can we send them for advice?

fragmast3r

HI,

my wife has recently found out that her mum and dad are heavily in debt (circa £35k)

her dad has been battling cancer, taken lots of time off work and run up debts, he is now making him self very ill, depression etc.

what are there options, I've told her that they need to speak to someone, there paying off minimum here and there, missing payments here and there, ive suggested they go to the citizens advice, sooner they get help, sooner they can stop making themselves ill.

any advice would be appreciated, can't stand to see what its doing to there family.

There very proud, and i think they feel ashamed, hence not talking to people , they have only told my wife, none of the rest of the family, will get my wife to talk to them and point them in the direction of above links, thank you.
