Having problems with debt is incredibly stressful and it can be hard to know where to turn. Here at StepChange Debt Charity we believe that you're entitled to a high standard of advice that is fair and impartial.
Unfortunately, many people end up in the hands of debt management companies who charge for their services and fail to deliver clear, transparent and independent advice.
Beware of false promises
In the fee-charging debt management sector, slick advertising and promises that sound too good to be true usually are.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has issued Debt Management Guidance for the fee-charging debt management sector.
However, a September 2010 OFT review criticised debt management companies for being misleading and incompetent. Like the OFT, we think this is unacceptable.
