12. Debt Awareness w/ Money and Pensions Service

Serve and Protect Credit Union Season 1 Episode 12

This Debt Awareness Week, we are joined by Paul Fox from the Money and Pension Service to explore the UK's consumer debt problem, why the stigma around debt is so difficult to overcome, and the support available for those struggling with problem debt.

This year, Debt Awareness Week is exploring the shame and stigma around debt. Part of this episode explains how to make opening up to loved ones easier:

- Clarifying the facts around your problem.
- Being clear on the support you need.
- Finding the right time and place to talk.
- Being totally honest about your situation.

Whether you are struggling with your existing debt, know somebody who might be, or are an employer wanting to support the financial resilience of your colleagues - this episode is packed with everything you need to know about debt support.
