Secret Debt Adviser

A debt adviser. Anonymous. Speaking freely without fear or favour. I don’t wear a shirt/tie, and my hair’s a bit messy.Retweets are probably me taking the piss.

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

Sponsored by f**king Cabot! Oh my days. Debt advice and creditors, just all on the same side ya know. And got the partnerships to polish that profit making halo too. Genius. They really care guys. The profit is just a side effect we don’t need to talk about today

JFC. Working with. What support. Understand. Head scratch. Hours of presentations, deep discussion. Wait a minute, it’s money isn’t it? That’s what people need to pay bills. Well knock me down with a feather. Bossing it thinktank. You got this Claire.

[Clare Moriarty @ClareMoriarty]

We’ve been working with @SMFthinktank and Public First to understand what support will be needed for energy bills in the coming years and how it could best be provided. Interim report out today with the final report to follow next spring. Lots of food for thought

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

Down tools lads and ladies Matt’s got it. Debt advice for the UK. The ‘most accessible’ service as defined by, well, Matt. That bus is going to be doing some miles. Best get a fleet.
Go home everyone

[Matt Dronfield @MattDronfield]

As the UK's most accessible debt advice service, @DebtFreeAdvice_ is continuing to roll out video advice kiosks across libraries, community centres, job centres and would love to hear any organisation if these would complement the range of services your offer!

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

@micagbdav @PearlFion @MoneyPensionsUK Another big org pretending they understand debt advice. Give us all a bad name. Look at gas and electric companies, look at water - this is what happens when you commercialise important things. Why don’t MaPS even care about stuff like accurate advice. Ffs

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

Mark this day - this is the day debt advice was sold down the river by clueless execs who don’t understand what debt advice is and are comfortable in their ignorance.

[Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) @MoneyPensionsUK]

Today, MaPS is pleased to announce the signature of contracts with organisations to provide national and business debt advice, and the administration of debt relief orders (DROs).

The insight here. Payplan channelling their inner Martin Lewis.Who comes up with this dross? What’s next, Water is wet. People tend to use more heating in the winter?

[PayPlan Debt Help @PayPlan]

Overspending is a common cause of debt, so remember: if you weren't planning on buying it before — it's not a good deal! #BlackFriday

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

@micagbdav @ThirdSector @UniteDebt @DebtWe Charity workers yes. Charity fat cats. No. Many sitting in the top branches of charities will NOT be worrying about putting their heating on. In fact most will have only a fleeting acquaintance with the poverty they pontificate about.

.@Moneybox @MoneyPensionsUK are at it again - proposing 10% cuts to grants for debt advice services in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis. Services already at breaking point. Our briefing here https://t.co/6tIsNcP42D

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

It’s almost like we’re in a huge cost of living crisis. So let’s deffers #talkmoney or certainly the lack of. Maybe you could signpost me to a friendly budgeting website which will make no difference what. So. Ever.
Good work @MoneyPensionsUK pats on the back all round.

[Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) @MoneyPensionsUK]

Our latest research shows that a quarter of UK adults have less than £100 set aside in savings, leaving them vulnerable to rising and unexpected bills. #TalkMoney

💬 9 million people across the UK have no savings
💬 Another 5 million have less than £100

‘Customers’ implies choice. They don’t have a choice. I have a client currently held under section 3 of the mental health act. Your ‘fantastic work coaches’ expect him to turn up for appointments at the job centre every week. You people are mad and dangerous.

[Department for Work and Pensions @DWPgovuk]

"I've had the opportunity to meet some of our fantastic Work Coaches seeing first-hand the brilliant work they do with our customers"

On his first visit to a Jobcentre as Work and Pensions Secretary, @MelJStride met staff and employers working together supporting jobseekers

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

A ‘culture shift’ needed. Right. Discussed at MALG. Please know you don’t speak for all of us in the ‘sector’.

[Matt Dronfield @MattDronfield]

Great to join Steven Coppard, @MikeEllicock & @Muna_Yassin_ during ‘The Big Debate’ at @MALG_UK’s Conference this afternoon and share my reflections on the change customer profile of people seeking debt advice and the need for a culture shift in our sector

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

How very cosy. Pleasing to cuddle up to those wielding cuts on services? The times of difficulty affect us too. Oh I give up.

[Matt Dronfield @MattDronfield]

Always a pleasure catching up with @carolinesiarki1 this morning and discussing how together, @DebtFreeLDN & @MoneyPensionsUK are helping people through times of difficulty and improve their financial wellbeing

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

@AmyTaylor_DA @MoneyPensionsUK @DebtWe @UniteDebt A bit of a shitshow over at Cit Ad. Standstill extended till the 12th of never (not a typo) and here are some really diabolical options for you. Apparently the Department is skint too. Hey ho.

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

I can’t think of anything worse than being surrounded by fee-chargers and creditors personally, but sure, have ‘important conversations’ about debt.
Can you still make a tidy profit out of people in debt?
#DebtAdvisErs

[Angel Advance @AngelAdvanceUk]

If you work within the debt advice sector and are planning to come, we look forward to meeting you and getting involved in the important conversations regarding debt, especially during these difficult times. (3/3)

[Unite Debt Advice Network @UniteDebt]

⚠️Demand through the roof, and set to get much worse
⚠️Wages frozen for many debt advisers
⚠️Advisers worn out and leaving

What's the solution from @MoneyPensionsUK - and @DWPgovuk & @hmtreasury holding the purse strings?

A 10% funding cut next February.

#SaveDebtAdvice

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

@UniteDebt @MoneyPensionsUK @DWPgovuk @hmtreasury I’ve also had a don’t-tell-anyone but cuts are coming coming email from MaPSDAP. The numbers they are talking about cutting are eye-watering. Never felt so demoralised. WTF

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

How many PMs is it to Christmas? Tip for Sunak, don’t make ReesWeirdVictorianaFetishMogg DWP minister, he’ll turn it into the Department for
Workhouses for the
Poor

[Lee Whitwell @lee_whitwell]

Why are NDL, Payplan and Stepchange putting clients into breathing space, doing fuck all for 60 days..then fobbing them off to other places. Pisses me right off

[Secret Debt Adviser @SecretDebt]

@jenpeggs @DWP Hate to be the bearer of bad news. It’s @DWPgovuk now. For reasons best known to people who earn too much money to be trusted with it.
