Credit card debt

Writing off credit card debt. What are my options?

Some organisations claim they can write off your credit card debt for you. These claims are misleading and could cost you more money.

Be wary of any firms that say they can write off your credit card debt by using a legal loophole. Especially those asking for upfront fees to do the job.

What does 'writing off' debts mean?

You may be looking for ways to write off credit card debts if you are finding it hard to pay. Some insolvency solutions can do this, such as:

England, Wales and Northern Ireland


Scotland


These solutions can write off some, or all of your debts. But they may not be right for everyone.

There are drawbacks too.


  • Some insolvency measures require fees
  • There is a risk of losing assets such as your house or car
  • All insolvency measures will have a serious effect on your credit file

It is important to get advice on dealing with debts. Not all solutions involve insolvency or writing off debts.
