PayPlan has been helping people in debt for over 30 years. We’re one of the largest providers of free debt advice and debt management plans in the UK and are trusted by some of the country’s largest employers, unions, lenders and voluntary organisations to help the people they work with successfully make their way out of debt. We were originally set up to assist the police in helping their employees and this unique, partner-led perspective has driven our approach ever since. We’re committed to collaboration – to sharing our knowledge and best practice in order to raise the bar for debt support and achieve the very best outcome for every person who comes to us. In short, we know debt. And we’re here to help our partners know and understand it too.
