System Error: Money and Pensions Service plans for the recommissioning of debt advice pose a threat to face-to-face services.

The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) tender process for debt advice will slash community based services

We are Debt Advisers is asking front-line debt advisers to help promote Together Against Debt’s survey of people with lived experience of debt.

After speaking to several front-line debt advisers working under the Money and Pensions Service (‘MaPS’) contracts we have launched an on-line survey about the impacts these are having for advisers and clients.

The Government has today responded to its consultation regarding the monetary eligibility limits for Debt Relief Orders.

We have received a tremendous statement in support of our campaign from the Unite West Yorkshire & Humber Community, Youth Workers, and Not for Profit Sectoral Branch which is now available here.

Following a meeting attended by over 140 front-line debt advisers at the beginning of the month, we have now pulled together our response to the Government’s consultation concerning the eligibility criteria for Debt Relief Orders.

Recognising that debt is impacting on a wide range of employees, including key workers, We are Debt Advisers is seeking the active support of the trades union movement in its campaign.
