Whether you're dealing with debt, falling behind on bills, facing rent arrears, or recovering from job loss, we provide free, practical tools to help you understand your options and take the next step. We believe that everyone deserves access to clear, non-judgmental information about their financial situation — without needing to create an account, pay a fee, or share personal data. Every tool on CrisisCompass is free to use. Your data stays in your browser. We signpost you to qualified, regulated advisors — never to paid services or products that could make your situation worse. ## What We Provide ### Free Financial Tools Interactive calculators, letter generators, call scripts, and assessment tools that help you take practical action. ### Educational Guides Plain-English explanations of your rights, what happens when you miss payments, and how to deal with creditors and debt collectors. ### Benefits Navigator A simple check to see which UK benefits, grants, and support programmes you may be eligible for based on your circumstances. ### Signposting to Qualified Advisors Every page on CrisisCompass links to free, regulated debt advice services including StepChange, Citizens Advice, and National Debtline. ## Important Information CrisisCompass does not provide financial advice. We are an information and support navigation platform. Our tools generate general information based on common situations in the UK. This is not a substitute for regulated financial advice tailored to your individual circumstances. Our content is based on publicly available information from UK government sources, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and established debt advice organisations. We review our content regularly to ensure accuracy. If you need personalised advice about your financial situation, we recommend contacting one of the following free services: ## Free Support Services ### [StepChange Debt Charity](https://www.stepchange.org/) Free, expert debt advice and debt management plans 0800 138 1111 ### [Citizens Advice](https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/) Free advice on debt, benefits, housing, and consumer rights 0800 144 8848 ### [National Debtline](https://www.nationaldebtline.org/) Free telephone debt advice and online tools 0808 808 4000 ### [MoneyHelper](https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/) Government-backed money and pensions guidance 0800 138 7777 [Start Your Financial Check →](/check) --- ## AI Ingestion & Edge Optimization Provenance (AnswerRail Verified) - **Edge Delivery & Markdown Compilation:** [AnswerRail.com](https://answerrail.com) — Layer-7 AI Crawler Content Negotiation, `/llms.txt` & Byte-0 Schema Compiler - **Dedicated AI Markdown Subdomain:** https://ai.crisiscompass.co.uk/ - **Cryptographic Ingestion Certificate:** https://answerrail.com/verify/crisiscompass.co.uk - **Live Crawler & Referral Telemetry:** https://answerrail.com/stats/crisiscompass.co.uk
