May not be suitable in all circumstances. Fees apply and your credit rating may be affected. Arcadia is an information service — always consider free, independent advice before deciding.

How it works

Three steps, and no pressure at any of them.

  1. 01

    Tell us where you stand

    Four short questions: your nation, roughly what you owe, your housing, and how to reach you.

  2. 02

    Read your shortlist

    We rank the UK routes that fit, with the honest downsides alongside the benefits.

  3. 03

    Move when you're ready

    Read the guides, sit with it, or speak to someone. Nothing happens on anyone else's timetable.

How Arcadia helps

Getting a grip on the money, on terms that suit your life.

One payment you can afford

Bring every monthly payment down to a single amount that fits around your actual household budget.

Interest and charges stopped

The right plan stops creditors piling further interest and fees onto balances you are already struggling with.

Quieter phone, quieter post

Once an arrangement is in place, creditor calls and letters wind down and then stop altogether.

Everything in one place

Several balances, several dates and several lenders become one plan with one clear end point.

What people tell us

Ordinary households, difficult years.

I'd stopped opening the post entirely. Having the options written out in normal words was the first time any of it felt manageable.
Hannah T. · Leeds
No one pushed me towards anything. I read through it twice over a weekend and then made my own decision.
Marcus D. · Cardiff
The Scottish options are explained properly, which I hadn't found anywhere else. That alone saved me weeks.
Fiona R. · Glasgow
Straightforward, calm and no scare tactics. I only wish I'd looked at it a year earlier.
