About PHMD

A friendlier first step when debt feels heavy

Please Help My Debt exists for the moment before advice: the moment when someone needs to say what's going on out loud, and be met with kindness rather than a script.

Why we started

Most people put off dealing with debt not because they don't care, but because the first step feels like the hardest. The forms are long, the phone lines are cold, and it is hard to know who to trust. We built PHMD to be a human, UK-based front door: somewhere to tell your story once, to someone who listens, before being put in front of the right specialist.

What we are, and what we're not

We are an introducer. We listen, we take the details that matter, and, with your consent, we introduce you to a regulated debt specialist who can advise you. We are not a debt advice company and we never recommend a particular solution. Free, impartial advice is available from charities and government-backed services, and we tell everyone that, every time.

How we work

  • Human first. You'll speak to a real person who listens before anything else.
  • Private. What you tell us stays between us and the specialist you choose to be introduced to.
  • Honest. We're clear about what we do, what we don't, and how we're paid.
  • No pressure. Nothing to pay us, and you're never obliged to go ahead with anything.

Who we introduce you to

The specialists we work with are regulated firms whose advisers are qualified to look at a person's whole financial situation and explain the options that exist for them. Any advice you receive, and any decision you make, is between you and that firm.

The team

Real people, here in the UK

Everyone you speak to at PHMD is part of our own team.

What we stand for

Three promises we make to everyone

We listen before anything else

No script and no rush. The first job is to understand what's actually going on.

Your details stay yours

Shared only with the specialist you choose, only with your consent, and never sold.

Straight answers about who we are

We're an introducer, we say so, and we'll always point you to free advice as well.
