Peter Wyman’s report[1] into the funding and delivery of debt advice in the UK is an important step which will make a real difference to policy and practice in this vital area. Good quality advice, delivered in a cost effective way, is crucial in helping avoid harm to consumers struggling with debt, many of whom can be vulnerable. We are working through the detail of the recommendations that affect the FCA directly, and look forward to working closely with the Money Advice Service and other stakeholders as we think about how we might act on the report’s findings.
