Welcome to Debt on our Doorstep

We are a national campaign working to end extortionate and irresponsible lending, and to ensure univeral access to affordable credit and fair financial services.

Our campaign involves a wide range of organisations including the National Housing Federation, Oxfam, and Citizens Advice Scotland, and many local advice services, credit unions and community groups.

Our work involves

• Publicising the extent and impact of extortionate lending on low income groups

• Lobbying Parliament, assemblies and other decision makers to end extortionate lending

• Researching and promoting models of affordable credit

• Providing a platform for people on low incomes to comment on the impact of debt

Debt on our Doorstep is part of a growing international movement for responsible credit and fair banking and we are represented on the Board of the European Coalition for Responsible Lending , which was founded in Brussels in 2006.
