Hi UKGamer,
There are specialist services you can speak to regarding financial abuse. The DAME (Domestic Abuse, Money & Education) Project 01323 635 987 or dame-referrals@moneyadviceplus.com can give you advice and possibly support regarding the financial abuse from your perpetrator.
Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) is an organisation sharing knowledge, resources and information on best practice and research and raise awareness around domestic abuse. Their website includes lots of resources and guides for women experiencing financial abuse. https://survivingeconomicabuse.org/
The National Debt Line gives information and advice on debt; including bank, credit card, finance, mortgage arrears, council tax, hire purchase and utility debts. Issues dealt with include county court, refusal of credit, bank charges, harassment, housing and homelessness and bailiffs. The National Debt line is able to signpost callers, make referrals and can be contacted on 0808 808 4000, 9am – 9pm Mon – Fri, and 9.30am – 1pm Sat, http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/.
I hope this helps.
Take care,Lisa
