When the Weight of the World Is Yours Alone: Debt and the Single Mum
Being a single mum means stepping up, often in ways you never expected. It’s taking on the family home, managing the bills, and making sure your children have everything they need, all while navigating the emotional and financial aftermath of a relationship breakdown.
It’s not easy, but it’s also a testament to your strength.
You’re doing the work of two, often without the recognition or support you deserve. And while the pressure can be intense, especially when debt begins to build, it’s important to remember: you’re not alone, and there are ways forward.
Debt doesn’t define you. But it can weigh heavily, like a cloud that follows you around, influencing every decisions and casting doubt over your future. That’s why finding the right support matters.

How Rebalance, in partnership with Prowse Phillips, Can Help
At Rebalance, we understand that debt isn’t always fair. That’s why, with our partner, we offer a comprehensive debt review, to ensure you’ve been treated properly and to challenge any discrepancies in your credit agreements.
They’ve already had £4 million signed off, and it’s just getting started.
The process is designed to uncover breaches, miscalculations, and unfair practices. If something doesn’t add up, they’ll find it, and fight to have it corrected.
We’re not just here to listen. We’re here to act.
