The CCCS MoneyAware team
Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) is a UK-registered charity that provides free debt advice to help you overcome your debt problems. We assisted around 400,000 UK citizens in 2011 (for more amazing stats read our Stats Yearbook).
However we want people to avoid unmanageable debt in the first place. MoneyAware gives advice and information to help you from falling into problem debt – the point at which the bills go unpaid, bank fees and charges mount and the worries and stress grow.
Alongside the MoneyAware blog we’re also on Twitter and Facebook, writing about the latest news, explaining debt and credit advice clearly and chatting with you about how to keep yourself free from the worry of debt.
Visit the CCCS website now if you need debt help or online debt counselling.
About the CCCS MoneyAware authors
Pav, Matt and Peer form the CCCS Social Media team. With years of experience in debt advice and social media, we’re here to help you understand the minefield of customer credit and what you can do to avoid debt problems.
Pavan Gata Aura is a qualified debt advisor with 5 years of experience, including delivering and marketing money management and debt advice training. She enjoys fundraising for charities, has spent time volunteering in West Africa and takes part in organised races. She runs a lot.
Matthew Cooper has worked at CCCS for nearly three years, until recently in our IVA department as a drafter. Before that he had an exciting role scripting TV soap operas. Kat Slater first said that she loved Alfie Moon using a script written by Matthew.
Peer Lawther is a social media planner and doer for CCCS after working in online marketing for museums, video game companies and more. He’s walked to the top of every mountain and hill in the Lake District.
Alongside the Social Media team, MoneyAware also features contributions from the people on the frontline – our counsellors and Helpline staff. We encourage everyone within Consumer Credit Counselling Service to submit blogposts and articles, to show a more rounded picture of our charity and its aims. We want to showcase the people that helps Britain to get out of personal debt.
We also accept articles from third party websites and contributors, if their ideals tie in with ours. For more information send us a message on Twitter.
