Space to breathe
Children living in families in problem debt are five times more likely to be unhappy. That’s why we’re calling on the Government to introduce a ‘Breathing Space’ scheme - to give parents time to get their finances back in order and repay their debts in a safe and affordable way.
Too often families fall into debt because of unexpected life events. They need time and space to get their finances back on track to repay their debts, rather than being chased by bailiffs and having fees and charges added, pushing them ever deeper into a perpetual cycle of debt.
