Freephone debt help line launched

Thu, 15 Sep 2022


Manx Telecom has provided The Salvation Army Debt Advice Service with a freephone number to help Island residents who are feeling the strain of escalating living costs. 

The number will allow local people to call the Debt Advice Service without worrying about the cost of the call or the need for credit on their phones.

Debbie White, Coordinator of the Debt Advice Service, said there had been a marked increase in calls as individuals and families struggle to cover their outgoings following the hike in energy costs and a rise in interest rates. For many people who were already in debt, the recent developments have compounded an already precarious financial situation.

“We are very busy with appointments right now and we were already at an all-time high whilst helping people through the pandemic,” she says.

If you are in need of help please call the freephone number on 0808 1624606.
