Debt charities

Debt charities are valuable resources for individuals facing financial challenges for several reasons:

  • Expert Guidance: Debt charities typically have financial experts and advisors who can provide personalised guidance based on your specific situation. They can help you understand your financial options, create realistic budgets, and offer advice on managing debt.

  • Non-Profit Focus: Debt charities operate as non-profit organisations, meaning their primary goal is to assist individuals rather than generate profits. This ensures that their services are focused on helping people navigate financial difficulties rather than maximising revenue.

  • Impartial Advice: Debt charities offer impartial advice without any vested interest in specific financial products or services. Their recommendations are based on what is best for your financial well-being, not influenced by the desire to sell a particular product.​

Organisations who charge you or ask for a donation for their advice are usually not accredited or authorised to advise you on your debt(s). Most importantly they have no power to negotiate on your behalf.

Be aware: Third party advice websites and social media pages such as ‘Beat the Bailiffs’ do not provide factually correct information, and therefore should not be used. If you follow advice from these sites you may make your situation worse. Always crosscheck the information that you receive online with regulated trustworthy debt charities.
