PayPlan's Partnership with Bipolar UK
We’re working with PayPlan to help their advisors understand the problems people with bipolar often face and to provide a faster referral process for our community.
PayPlan is a free debt advice provider which supports people to get debt under control and provides personalised advice on a range of money-related subjects, such as bailiffs, legal action and benefits.
When someone with bipolar is going through a period of hypomania or mania they can often spend impulsively. This means that debt is a common worry for people living with bipolar. The stress of mounting debt can trigger symptoms, which means they become even more unwell.
PayPlan and Bipolar UK aim to reduce the effects of this cycle by helping people to take control of their debt.
PayPlan offer anyone with bipolar a direct free referral to one of their specialist team who have been trained by Bipolar UK to understand the condition better. PayPlan regularly review their processes and wording to make them as accessible as possible.
We work together to:
- Help PayPlan advisors understand the problems people with bipolar often face
- Provide a faster referral process for our bipolar community
- Collaborate on information webinars
Hear from Aneesa on how PayPlan helped her
“PayPlan has changed my life. I used to dread being paid, or looking at my finances. It's so easy to sign up to another card, or 'buy now, pay later' service... before I knew it, I owed over £20k I couldn't afford.
I was amazed to hear about PayPlan having no fees and making creditors freeze interest too. Talking to PayPlan has been amazing too, they really care and keep you fully updated with everything.
Thanks to PayPlan I feel like I have a future again.”
