Terms & Conditions of Use
Last updated: January 2025
1. Important FCA Disclaimer
YourFinances.co.uk is an information platform only and not a debt management company. All advice provided is FCA-compliant, general in nature, and should not be considered a personal recommendation. Individual circumstances vary. For regulated debt solutions, speak to an FCA-authorised adviser.
2. FCA Authorization Status
YourFinances.co.uk provides information and tools related to debt solutions in the United Kingdom. We are not directly authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to provide regulated debt advice. Instead, we work exclusively with FCA regulated partners who can provide formal advice and debt solutions.
When you are connected with a regulated partner, you will receive services from a firm directly authorised by the FCA. You can verify the FCA authorization status of any firm on the Financial Services Register.
For information about formal insolvency procedures, please visit the Insolvency Service.
3. "Write Off Debt" Content Clarification
Any references on our website to "writing off debt" or similar terms refer to formal debt solutions available under UK law. Only qualifying individuals can write off debt via approved routes, including:
- Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA): A formal agreement with creditors that may result in a portion of debt being written off after successful completion
- Debt Relief Order (DRO): Available to those with limited assets and income, subject to strict eligibility criteria
- Bankruptcy: A legal process that may result in debt write-off but has serious long-term consequences
Eligibility for these solutions depends on your individual circumstances and is determined by qualified advisers and, where applicable, the Insolvency Service. There is no guarantee that any debt will be written off. For official guidance on debt solutions, please consult the Insolvency Service or speak to an FCA-authorised debt adviser.
