We are not talking about serious longer term investments here. This is money which is meant to be safe and accessible, and preferably tax efficient. It could well be that it's money earmarked for your tax bill, for example.

So, the natural products that come to mind are National Savings (NS&I), as well as all the various banks and building societies deposit accounts. But of course it all depends on what the rates are, and indeed would it not be better to pay off debt if your lender allows you to?

We disregard Cash ISAs here as the amounts you can put away each year are very modest at £3,600 (rising to £5,100 pa from April 2010). However, if these amounts are in the range of what you need, it would certainly pay to look at these first, as they are tax free.

But if you have, say, £10,000 – £100,000 to 'park', what is the latest state of play?

Well, let's look at National Savings. We have ignored Premium Bonds, as the prize fund pays the equivalent of  1%, and perhaps could now be looked at in the same way as the lottery. Of course, there is the chance to win big with a £1m jackpot, as well as many smaller amounts each month.

Please note that all the following rates are quoted gross, and if you are a higher rate tax payer you will be hit hard with 20% at source tax to pay and a further 20% on your tax return. If you are a basic rate payer then the 20% at source only applies.

If you are a non tax payer then complete form R85 to receive any interest gross.

The NS&I easy access account currently pays a very low 0.3% to 0.7%. Compare this to the rates mentioned below.

Other options, which are tax free, are fixed interest savings certificates paying 1.25% TO 2.25% over 2 or 5 years. The index linked certificates are only paying 1% above inflation, and since this is minus at present you simply receive 1%. Of course, if you think that inflation will rise sharply, you could consider this option.

There was a huge amount of funds invested with NS&I whilst the stability with the banks was a huge issue, and many people fled to safety. However, with things settling down somewhat, it seems that because the rates on offer from NS&I are poor the same people are now leaving.

So, where are they going with their money?

Well, savings rates with banks and building societies have risen. For example, on easy access accounts, ING offers 3.2%, and ICICI Bank UK has a fixed rate for 3 years at 4.6%. On shorter terms, the Post Office has a rate on a 1 year bond of 3.85%.

It really does come down to your opinion on how interest rates will be in the next few months through to, say, 3 years. Your guess is probably as good as ours!

For those of you with flexible mortgages where you can pay off debt, or park money in the current or deposit accounts, this should be your first port of call. If the rate you are paying is 3%, then this is equivalent to 5% for a higher rate tax payer.

If you are lucky enough to have a tracker that is as low as 1.5%, then the equivalent savings rate would be 2.5%. So, technically, it may well be that you are better off placing your money elsewhere, although you need to take into account the 'hassle factor' of moving money around on a regular basis.

As ever, whichever route you take, be careful to ensure that if these monies need to be accessible, that the account chosen allows you to do this. In addition, the government guarantee the first £50,000 of money per individual per institution, so be sensible here.

The charges made by Heir Hunters vary and the unsuspecting beneficiary may end up signing a major part, indeed potentially all of their inheritance away to a Heir Hunter, although in the main charges range from 10-30% of the estates value.

Being approached by a Heir Hunter requires composure and the need to assess the value and cost of a “finders fee” contract offered. Heir Hunters are fulfilling a vital need in ensuring monies are reunited with next of kin rather than end up with the state for the sake of a little ingenuity in tracking down rightful heirs. Maybe a Heir Hunter is in your street now, looking for you

Are you one of the many people in the world with bad credit and it is holding you back in a way that is just not fair? Do you want to relieve yourself of the past and find an option that will work for bad credit debt consolidation? There are actually a few options you can use in order to help yourself get out of debt even with bad credit. Here are some choices you have to make in order to get to a debt free life.

If you are willing to give up the home you live in and move into something much less expense and you are willing to sell any extra automobiles you have or sell the one you have and purchase a less expensive model, then credit counseling is an option.

Second, another option for unsecured debt consolidation is to use a credit counseling service. These are not for profit services that do charge a fee and will help you settle your debts and get your finances under control.

If you can move several thousand dollars to a zero percent loan for six months, then do so, but make sure you work on paying off higher interest cards.

Be sure and read the small print on the 0% credit card contract because at the end of your “free” period the interest rate on that new card account can oftentimes be higher than any of your other credit card interest rates.

The best option for debt consolidation for those with bad credit is a debt service. Just like bankruptcy and credit counseling you will have to pay a fee for this service, but it is worked into your monthly payment. They set everything up on the budget you give them to work with so that you can afford it.

This diary will tell you which credit cards need the most attention and where you should look to consolidate two credit cards into one or all of them into the one credit source that you feel you can work with long term.

By working with that partner you can make a plan to consolidate your credit card debt and get rid of it once and for all.
