In the 1990s, police officers in the UK faced a unique challenge. As they are entrusted with maintaining law and order, they had to be incredibly cautious about the financial advice they received. Any decisions made regarding their personal finances could have a significant impact on their professional lives, as it would be scrutinised during their vetting process. If an officer was unable to manage their debts and went bankrupt, it often led to dismissal, a harsh reality for those struggling with financial hardship.
Recognising the need for tailored support, PayPlan was founded with a clear mission in mind – to help police officers navigate their financial difficulties without potentially jeopardising their careers. By introducing Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs), some officers were able to address their debts in a way that wouldn’t trigger bankruptcy, other options were available and recommended as solutions depending on individual circumstances. We work closely with our clients to make sure they that seek appropriate advice within the police force during receiving advice and before entering into a debt solution.
PayPlan partnered with Police Forces and Federations across the country to offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental debt advice service. This partnership allowed officers to access financial guidance and solutions that were designed to fit their specific needs.
As time progressed on, PayPlan extended their offering outside of the police force and have grown substantially. But to this day still have a wonderful relationship with the police sector, offering a safe and confidential advice to those in need.
