Government debt consolidation

Don't be fooled by debt companies advertising services as Government debt consolidation schemes.

Don’t be misled

Some fee charging debt management companies use phrases like ‘Government debt consolidation’ or ‘Government debt advice’ to fool people into using their services; don’t be misled by these claims.

Be wary of any debt company advertising debt consolidation as the answer to every debt problem. There are many debt solutions for all kinds of situations, and debt consolidation will not help if you are struggling because you have too much debt.

As the UK’s foremost debt charity, we can look carefully at your financial circumstances and recommend the best way out of debt for you.

Use our online Debt Remedy tool, and get free, expert advice in complete confidence.
