About Us

The team at Sensible Debt Advice are dedicated to providing practical sensible debt advice and debt solutions to individuals, families and small businesses across South Wales. The services we offer range from personal bankruptcy support and arrangements with creditors through to company administration and liquidation.

We handle business debt in association with Samantha Hawkins of Hawkins Insolvency ( see below) and we are the only Licensed Insolvency Practitioners based in Bridgend, with a team working across South and Mid Wales.

Debt is such a personal issue. And intensely private. Who do you talk to? What are your options? The truth is there is always a solution, and we can help you.

How We Look At Personal Debt

Nobody means to get into debt. Usually decisions are made and actions taken which gradually lead to a difficult financial situation.

Often debt builds up slowly over time but people tend to think that somehow, they will be able to manage it. Eventually the time comes when they face the fact that they can't fix it by themselves.

If this is you - come and talk to us - or we'll come to you.

Everyone we meet has a debt problem. We're here to help and we don't judge people. We are a very friendly team and we just want to help you find the best solution

We have a breadth of experience to deal with any debt problem and can act immediately on your behalf rather than sit and talk endlessly.

So we meet, you tell us your situation and we offer sensible debt advice and then help you resolve your financial worries.

The hardest part is the first step, so to get started either contact us by email, or call 01656 661426 to speak to us. Privacy is very, very important to us and confidentiality is guaranteed
