A really important report from @csjthinktank on government debt collection. It feels like reform is coming - when good things happen, we may well look back at the NAO's intervention and this CSJ #CollectingDust report as the two events that moved the dial 🤞 Great work @JoeShalam

If you’ve experienced one of these ‘clone' firms, believing you were talking to a genuine StepChange advisor, and would like to share your story to help highlight this alarming practice, please get in touch [email protected] 4/4

Unauthorised 'clone’ firms are using altered versions of StepChange (e.g. 'Step to Change' or 'Step Changing') and other charities' names to convince people they're genuine debt advice services. They're not genuine. They're scams. 1/4
