The figures are frightening. Nearly four out of 10 people are concerned about the size of their debts and their ability to repay them, while the number of people resorting to bankruptcy and individual voluntary agreements (IVAs) is on an upward climb.

As the number of people struggling to repay their borrowing increases, and the credit crunch continues to put a squeeze on consumers, debt counsellors are reporting a new type of client - the middle income middle classes.

So are you among those people who are worried about the amount of debt they are in? Do you struggle to meet your repayments or are uncertain what to do next? Whatever your concerns, we may be able to help you find an answer.

At 1pm on Monday June 9 our team of experts, Frances Butt Philip of London debt advice service Capitalise and Guardian Money's Tony Levene, will be online to answer your queries. Post a question now and they will do their best to provide the information you need on Monday.

Advice is for guidance only - if you want to take your query further you should speak to a debt adviser, in person or by phone. You will find a list of advisers offering free and impartial advice on our factsheet.
