Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about YourFinances.co.uk and our debt solutions
What is YourFinances.co.uk?
YourFinances.co.uk is a free information and referral platform providing guidance on Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs), Debt Management Plans (DMPs), Debt Relief Orders (DROs), and bankruptcy. We offer free AI-powered tools and connect consumers with Licensed Insolvency Practitioners who are authorised to provide regulated debt advice. We do not provide regulated financial advice ourselves.
Is YourFinances.co.uk FCA regulated?
YourFinances.co.uk works exclusively with FCA-regulated debt advisors and Insolvency Practitioners. While we are not directly authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, all debt solutions we recommend are provided through our network of fully FCA-regulated partner firms. This ensures all advice meets strict FCA guidelines and consumer protection standards. You can verify our partners' regulatory status on the FCA Register.
What debt solutions do you offer?
We provide expert guidance on all major UK debt solutions: Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs) - which can write off up to 80% of unsecured debt; Debt Management Plans (DMPs) - flexible informal arrangements to reduce monthly payments; Debt Relief Orders (DROs) - low-cost option for those with under £30,000 debt and minimal assets; and Bankruptcy - a complete fresh start for severe financial difficulties. Our free assessment helps determine which solution is most suitable for your specific circumstances, income, and debt level.
Is the service free?
Yes, our initial debt assessment and eligibility checking services are completely free with no obligation. There is no cost to speak with our advisors or receive personalised debt advice. If you proceed with a debt solution such as an IVA, any fees are built into your monthly payments and never charged upfront. For DMPs through partner charities, there are often no fees at all. We believe everyone deserves access to expert debt advice regardless of their financial situation, which is why we offer free assessments and consultations.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple and takes just 3 minutes. First, complete our free IVA eligibility checker or comprehensive debt assessment online — this won't affect your credit score. Next, one of our qualified debt advisors will review your situation and contact you within 24 hours to discuss your options. They'll explain which debt solutions you qualify for and help you choose the best path forward. Finally, if you decide to proceed, we'll guide you through every step of the process with ongoing support until you're debt-free.
Will using the debt assessment affect my credit score?
No. Our free debt assessment, IVA eligibility checker, and all 16 AI-powered tools can be used without any impact on your credit score. These tools only require information you provide directly — we do not perform credit checks or access your credit file. If you later choose to proceed with a formal debt solution through one of our regulated partner firms, they will explain any credit implications before you agree to anything.
What AI tools are available on YourFinances.co.uk?
We offer 16 free AI-powered tools designed to help you manage and recover from debt. These include the IVA Eligibility Checker, AI Debt Coach for real-time guidance, Budget Balancer for income and expense management, DMP Calculator to estimate monthly payments, Credit Score Simulator to see how actions affect your rating, a Legal Document Generator for creditor letters, and a Credit Rebuilding Planner. All tools are available 24/7 at no cost, with no account required for most features.
How is YourFinances.co.uk different from other debt advice websites?
YourFinances.co.uk combines AI-powered tools with access to qualified professionals.
