About MoneyNerd

MoneyNerd is a UK website run by MoneyNerd Limited. We publish general information about debt and other money matters through articles, videos and templates. We may also introduce people seeking debt advice to The Debt Advice Service.

MoneyNerd does not provide debt advice, assess whether a debt solution is suitable for you or recommend one.

What happens if you make a debt enquiry

If you complete our form and agree to an introduction, we may share your details with The Debt Advice Service, a trading style of Pacific Financial Solutions Limited. If your enquiry is passed on, its team may contact you to understand your circumstances and discuss the options available. Completing our form does not mean you qualify for a particular debt solution.

Debt solutions can include debt management plans, IVAs, debt relief orders, bankruptcy and other options. Which options are available and suitable depends on your circumstances. Advice from The Debt Advice Service is free. Fees apply to some debt solutions. There is no obligation to proceed.

How MoneyNerd is paid

Using MoneyNerd and making a debt enquiry are free. MoneyNerd may receive a payment from The Debt Advice Service if someone we introduce goes on to enter an IVA or debt management plan. The amount can differ between solutions. MoneyNerd does not make the recommendation.

Our founder

Scott Nelson founded MoneyNerd after his own experience of debt. Our team creates general information to help readers understand financial topics. The Debt Advice Service provides any personal debt advice following an introduction.
