We should all be able to live our lives without being dragged down by debt. But for millions, the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates has made this impossible.
If you are facing mounting bills, you aren’t alone. Thirteen million of us are now in serious debt in the UK.
“It’s horrible, frightening and demeaning to be living under debt.”
Debbie, from Kent
People who were able to keep their head above water are now having to navigate awful choices. Choices between putting food on the table or keeping the lights on. Families, who had been just staying afloat, face being overwhelmed by rising unmanageable debts.
Soon there is going to be a general election, but so far politicians have said very little about how they plan to tackle the debt crisis facing many of us across the country.
That’s why thousands of people, who know what it’s like to experience the stress of being in debt, have come together to build a manifesto for what they want to see changed. It’s time politicians heard about the devastating effect debt is having in our communities and on people’s lives up and down the UK.

WE DEMAND:
- Fair debt solutions so everyone can have a fresh start.
- To be treated with dignity, and protected from exploitation and harassment by creditors, debt collectors and bailiffs.
- An end to people being pushed into debt just to pay for the food, energy and housing they need.
Will you add your voice to the campaign and our three demands?
We’ll deliver our Together Against Debt – People’s Manifesto to all political parties, if enough of us get involved then we know we can’t be ignored.
Together, we are speaking out and standing up for our family, friends and neighbours who have been saddled with unpayable debts, in a crisis that nobody could plan for.
