Keep your details secure from scammers, unfortunately during this time scams are on the rise, with many clone firms. Clone firm links often appear at the very top of a search engine results page, as scammers will pay money to grab your attention first. And now, scammers are impersonating debt advice charities such as StepChange, National Debtline and Citizens Advice. When you click on a link through to a clone firm, all may seem well at first. It’s a professional-looking website. They're talking about debt solutions and freezing interest. They even have helpful interactive tools and glowing reviews of their service.

Remember, real and trust worthy organisations will never:
- Contact you unless you contact them first,
- Message you via apps such as WhatsApp
- Charge you for debt advice
- Refer you to a third party for a repayment plan
