Frequently Asked Questions

Will debt consolidation hurt my credit score?
Initially, your score may dip slightly due to the credit search. However, if you make payments on time, consolidation can improve your score by lowering utilisation and simplifying payments.
What's the fastest way to pay off debt?
The debt avalanche method saves the most interest, but the debt snowball provides motivation. Choose what works for your personality. Adding extra payments accelerates either method.
Should I use savings to pay off debt?
Keep a small emergency fund (£1,000) and use the rest for high-interest debt. Once debt-free, rebuild your emergency fund to 3-6 months of expenses.
Where can I get free debt advice in the UK?
You can speak to our trained advisers for free, or contact independent charities like StepChange, Citizens Advice, or National Debtline.
