Help for survivors of abuse, including financial abuse
If you're experiencing financial abuse
If your partner, ex-partner or someone you live with controls your money and finances, you may be experiencing an economic form of domestic abuse.
This can include someone exerting control over your income, spending, bank accounts, bills and/or borrowing, including taking out debt in your name.
Money Advice Plus offers a free helpline for people who are experiencing financial abuse, and there is more information and support available from Surviving Economic Abuse and Refuge.
If you're experiencing domestic abuse
If you are, or think you might be, experiencing any form of domestic abuse, including economic and/or financial, this is not acceptable and support is available.
The domestic abuse guidance webpage from the UK Government lists places that you can find free, confidential advice.
The Women’s Aid website also includes a directory which can help you find a local support service, as well as information and support in 16 languages other than English, including British Sign Language.
