Many consumers experience episodes of financial hardship where they are unable to pay their personal debts such as credit cards, personal loans, car loans or mortgages. Although Australia has laws and codes to protect consumers if they are unable to maintain their debt repayments, as well as a range of resources and services to assist consumers in how to approach their creditors for assistance, there has been little Australian research into what are the help-seeking behaviours of individuals in financial hardship. An understanding of what an individual does once they are aware they are unable to repay their debts or start to face debt collection pressures such as phone calls or communications from their creditors may help not only individuals in financial hardship but also creditors, regulators, consumer advocates and the designers of financial literacy resources. This thesis focusses on the following research questions - •What are the determinants of financial hardship for individuals in Australia? •What services and options do individuals that are in financial hardship in Australia access and why? •What are the help-seeking behaviours of individuals that are in financial hardship in Australia? •What effect do financial literacy initiatives and resources have on individuals that are in financial hardship in Australia? This research explored the help-seeking behaviour of individuals in financial hardship by interviewing two groups. The first was individuals who had declared themselves bankrupt in the 6-12 months prior to their interview. This group was asked questions relating to how they arrived at their state of financial hardship, what they did once they realised they were unable to repay their debts, what options they investigated and undertook, what services they sought help from (if any), if they had heard of services provided by charities such as financial counselling, who they received advice from as well as what they thought about the process to declare themselves bankrupt. The second group was individuals who had walked into a small-amount, short-term, high-cost “payday lender” and were asked about their financial situation, what was the purpose of the loan they were applying for, how they felt about walking into a payday lending shopfront, and if they had approached “mainstream lenders”. They were also asked what they did if they were unable to repay their debts, what options did they undertake to improve their financial situation, what services did they seek financial help from (if any), if they had heard of services provided by charities such as a No Interest Loan, who did they receive advice from as well as what they thought about the process of applying for a Payday Loan. The study found that individuals are reluctant to seek help from not-for-profit organisations such as financial counsellors. Their initial help was from an unqualified source such as family or friends. They tended to type phrases such as “help with debts” into an internet search engine and contact the first few organisations that appeared with no reservations that the service was a for-profit organisation and may have a conflict of interest. Despite the large investment from the Australian government into financial literacy resources and programs, consumers were reluctant to use these resources or because of the stress their financial hardship was creating, could not recall where to locate these services. The clients of the Payday lender were mostly unaware of free services delivered by charities such as No Interest Loans or financial counselling or did not want to be seen as a “charity case”. Both groups experienced a range of difficulties including unexpected deaths, divorce, unemployment and addictions that propelled them into financial hardship. However, their levels of financial literacy were similar to those of other Australians. There were significant implications of financial hardship for their physical and mental health. The recommendations from this study are that first, financial literacy programs need to be scaled back and replaced with additional support for financial hardship assistance. Second, recognition that financial hardship is the result of many complex factors and is often not the result of low financial literacy, greed and/or fraud. Third, the process for lodging a bankruptcy debtor's petition in Australia needs to be changed so that debtors can no longer go bankrupt without receiving impartial advice and assistance. Fourth, financial counselling programs in Australia should be re-branded away from charities and/or faith-based organisations to remove the stigma of going to a charity for assistance. Financial counsellors need to be more mainstream and available to everyone who needs help in managing their finances.Further research is recommended to interview a larger sample of bankrupts as the results for the small sample size for this study may not generalise to the population of bankrupts. However, the difficulties in researching this stressful and painful experience must be recognised and it is likely to continue to be hard to find a large group willing to talk about their experiences. This study pre-dates the COVID pandemic and a post-COVID update in light of rapid changes to insolvency regulations, further research on younger bankrupts, as well as a study of the views of financial counsellors on the Australian bankruptcy process would all contribute to our understanding of the experiences of people coping with financial hardship.

This guide aims to help teachers and institutions to minimise the occurrence of financial hardship and to establish a realistic approach for dealing with requests for help from those students who do experience financial problems.

My primary assignment in this place today is to break the cycle of financial hardship over families and if you believe it I want you to shout amen. One of the greatest agenda of Satan in this season is to cripple the body of Christ, to cripple families, to cripple individuals, to cripple marriages. And there are many tools that he is using, please listen to me, one of the greatest tools is poverty, lack, insufficiency, and financial struggles.Statistics tell us that 90% of failed marriages are directly or indirectly related to money issues. Many of our sisters have gotten into immorality, not because they want to but because of the reality of lack and poverty. Hallelujah, do you believe what I'm sharing? I need to know that you are interested in what I'm about to share because of it is dangerous and it can even be destructive if you try to teach people something they are not willing to receivethe kingdom of God and the advancement of the kingdom of God is suffering greatly all over the world, especially not because there are not zealous people but because there is an enemy of the gospel, it is called financial hardship. If you do not love God and you do not love to see souls saved and you do not want to see the people of God lifted, you will never find value in what I'm about to teach because the church is full of a lot of self-centeredness and selfishness and for many of us we believe that once we have enough "for myself, my wife, my 2 children and maybe a little offering to throw to the church" we believe that is alright, let the pastors go wherever they want to go, let the church of God go wherever it wants to go, let the church of God go very it wants to go, at least I'm comfortable. The truth is that there are many of us here, I may nor say we are in a state of poverty as it were, it is not like we don't have food to eat, it is not like we can't afford to wear a good cloth, it is not like you can't afford to be a blessing to one or two people, but we are in a state of insufficiency. A realm where it never gets enough and the agenda of Satan is to keep us in that state so that our entire lives become a journey that chases after money.If we are to be very sincere with ourselves, there are so many of us, the number one thought in our lives and our mind is money, money, money. As I'm mentioning the word money, some of you are already smiling, you just want to keep hearing it. Don't let anybody fool you, money is very important in this realm, please don't let anybody confuse you, without money there are many things that will not move forward in your life, without money the gospel is going to suffer.Read This Book and Be Blessed

Financial hardship occurs where a consumer takes on payment obligations under a contract but then becomes unable to meet them when they fall due. The authors present the results of a survey of financial counsellors with the aim of drawing upon the extensive work experience of the counsellors to put together a broad picture of the underlying causes of this growing problem and how it is addressed in four key sectors: consumer credit, energy, water and telecommunications. The findings include the views of the financial counsellors on the causes of financial hardship, how financial hardship can vary according to gender, and the particular challenges faced by migrants. The findings of the research also include insights into the types of assistance provided to those in financial hardship by providers of consumer credit, energy, water and telecommunications, the adequacy of this assistance and the barriers to accessing appropriate hardship assistance.
