Today AdviceUK has called on the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) to engage in a full and meaningful consultation on the future of debt advice with debt advice providers, frontline debt advisers, debt advice membership organisations and wider stakeholders.
This follows the successful campaigns led last year by AdviceUK, the Institute of Money Advisers, the Money and Mental Health Policy, the Unite Debt Advice Network and We Are Debt Advisers that resulted in MaPS pausing its plans to commission regional debt advice services in England. MaPS has since announced that it will be reversing its proposed cuts to regional debt advice and entering into 10 month agreements with existing providers.
