• Over 2 per cent had specialist money advice.

Here’s how some of our callers say we’ve helped them:

“It was great just to talk to someone objective about my situation, and get some perspective. Thank-you!”

“This phone call could literally be life changing for me; recently bereaved I am to be put in touch with a counsellor who will hopefully help me to move on.”

“Everything was clearly explained to me and the young lady I spoke to on the phone was helpful and non-judgmental of my current financial situation.”
