CONSUMERS are now facing a perfect storm of rising interest rates and growing inflation, warned DebtBusters. DebtBusters' 04 2021 Debt Index was published this week as part of its National Debt Awareness Month campaign, aimed to better inform consumers about managing debt and the effect of rising interest rates. This year's theme is: Know what's in your best interest.
