PayPlan offers tailored support for people in debt
17 March 2026
Yesterday marked the start of Debt Awareness Week, an annual campaign to raise awareness about debt, tackle stigma and encourage people to seek help if they are struggling financially.
PayPlan, which works with West Midlands Police Federation to provide free comprehensive advice, guidance and support for anyone struggling with their finances, is supporting the awareness week and says the hardest part of dealing with debt isn’t the numbers, it’s the fear of reaching out.
Concerned
“People in debt feeling embarrassed, worry there won’t be any help available to them and are also concerned about their credit score,” says a spokesperson for PayPlan.
“We provide free, comprehensive advice, guidance and support for anyone struggling with their finances. Our aim is to help people take back control of their money.”
Debt Awareness Weeks runs from 16 to 22 March 2026.
PayPlan offers multiple ways to receive support:
- By phone
- Through live chat and WhatsApp
- By email, or
- Through the post.
It also offers real-time translation in your preferred language with Language Line as well BSL interpretation via SignVideo or large print, Braille and coloured paper.
