What will I need?

Your debt details

Who your debts are with, how much you owe and if you're behind on any payments

Your income details

Your wage, any benefits payments you get and any other form of income you receive

Your household spending

How much you typically spend on items like groceries, days out and unplanned repairs

Once you've told us about your finances, we'll work out your budget and debt advice tailored to your situation. If you can’t get hold of all the information right now, you can save your progress and return later.

How do I get my debt details?

  • Look through past letters
    Don't forget to check emails, SMSs and any in-app messages as well
  • Ask your creditors
    They''ll be able to give you an accurate debt balance
  • Get a free credit report online
    These are available from providers like Experian, Equifax or Credit Karma but may not always be up to date

Get started

You'll be asked to enter details about your income, spending and debts. If you can’t get hold of all the information right now, you can save your progress and return later.

We'll then give you our recommendation of a solution to help your situation, along with all your options.

  1. Our service is free and completely confidential
  2. Complete the process online or switch between online and phone
  3. Do it at a time to suit you - you can always pause and come back to it later
  4. We’ll help to set up your solution
  5. Getting debt advice won't affect your credit file or involve a credit check
