Many people experience problems with their finances in one way or another over their lifetime. This can be for many reasons. The most important thing to do is to get help.
Debt advice work is life changing. It’s not just about money, it is about enabling people to escape from circumstances that have blighted their lives.
Debt can cause the breakdown of relationships, ill-health, homelessness, depression, fear, anger and shame. It can also potentially lead to serious addiction problems and even suicide.

| “CMA could not have been more understanding and supportive throughout the whole of the experience. They understood my needs and my shortcomings and helped me work around those in a professional but also kind and empathetic way. I was extremely grateful for such help and this has taken me nearly year to write but I do still think kindly of CMA and the support they gave me, helping me move forward financially and personally.“ |
