About CrisisCompass

Our Mission

CrisisCompass exists to help people in the UK who are struggling financially. 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.
