Warning: stepfordebtfree.co.uk and debthelplines.co.uk

3 February 2023

Two websites, ‘stepfordebtfree.co.uk’ and ‘debthelplines.co.uk’ are featuring as paid Ads in Google search results for help with debt and appear to be falsely offering debt advice services without the appropriate permissions.

‘Stepfordebtfree.co.uk’ is using the name of Neil Gibson and details of his firm G I A Insolvency without authorisation. Neil Gibson and his firm has no association with this site and does not take or intend to take IVA appointments.

‘Debthelplines.co.uk’ uses the same phone number as ‘stepfordebtfree.co.uk’ (03301222046) and the two websites are extremely similar. Neil Gibson and his firm has no association with this phone number or the Debt Helplines site.

Anyone seeking debt advice should not use this website and should seek a properly authorised and regulated Insolvency Practitioner. Anyone struggling with debts is encouraged to visit the ‘guides for people in debt‘ section of the IPA website, which includes debt guides and links to organisations such as Money Helper which can assist with getting debt help and understanding the different ways to pay off debts.
