Debt policy and research

Using real life insights to campaign for change.

We have helped over

7.5 million

people since 1993

 

Working towards a society free from problem debt

We have spent the last 30 years giving free debt advice and solutions to people across the UK.

We learn from our clients, and use those insights to champion policies that reduce financial harm and deliver the best in free debt advice and debt management.

We provide resources for MPs and parliamentarians to understand our latest campaigns and briefings, as well as practical help for constituents with problem debt.

Our policy team uses our clients’ experiences to make the evidence-based case for changing regulation, law and practice, to reduce the risk of problem debt and the harm it causes to people.
