Debt and benefits

We help local authorities to collect the most debt while making the least impact on society

Across the UK, debt owed to local authorities is growing.

But often, corporate debt collection teams don’t have the full picture of the different types of debt each person has. Or whether chasing the debt would add stress to a household that’s already vulnerable.

We give you a single view of household debt, so you can take a more holistic decision about which ones to chase and how. And we make that data available to every agency involved, including housing and council tax. So if a resident asks for help with restructuring their debt, the person they speak to can access the appropriate data.
