Debt Advice
There are times when the SPBF or indeed any charity is unable to assist with officers and staff with financial problems alone. The SPBF is not a debt management scheme or able to provide individual financial advice.
We advise our members struggling with debt to seek specialist advice regarding their finances. In particular we urge them not to use popular cash advance services that charge extortionate interest rates but instead seek assistance through Employee Assistance Schemes, Citizens Advice Bureaux, The Police Credit Union or professional Debt advisors.
The Police Service has a more sympathetic and enlightened approach to debt than it once had and we can help point you in the right direction if you get in touch with us (in confidence).
