Fresh Start Debt Support
If you’ve searched for “Capital One debt” because the balance keeps creeping up, minimum payments are too high, or letters are arriving more often—this page is for you. At Fresh Start Debt Support, we turn the noise into a plan: protect your essentials, reduce contact pressure, and move toward one affordable monthly payment where suitable.
Below you’ll find a practical walkthrough for dealing with Capital One credit card arrears and related debts. We explain how budgeting works, when Breathing Space may help, and how options like a Debt Management Plan (DMP), an IVA, or a DRO could fit your situation. You’ll also find guidance for when a Capital One account is passed to debt collectors and how to respond calmly.

Life changes—higher bills, reduced hours, illness, or a housing cost jump—turn a manageable card into a stressful one. Minimum payments keep the account active but may barely touch the principal. If your card was once helpful and now feels like a trap, you’re not alone.
We build a simple, realistic budget around your essentials first. Then, where appropriate, we recommend a route that pulls Capital One (and your other non-priority debts) into a single affordable payment. If you’re unsure of the full debt list, we can guide a free credit check during your fact-find.

Begin Step 1 → Quick JotFormMinimums keep the account running but often barely reduce the balance—especially after late fees or interest. If you’re paying for survival, not progress, it’s time to reset the plan.

Tackle My Capital One Credit CardFlexible and informal. Many creditors freeze or reduce interest/charges in a DMP (not guaranteed). Good if your income can support a steady payment and you want adaptability.
Formal and legally binding. One affordable payment for a fixed term; remaining eligible unsecured debt may be written off on completion. Often stronger protection from most creditor action.
For low income/low assets. Debts are usually frozen for 12 months and written off if circumstances don’t improve. Strict eligibility applies.

I’m Being Chased — Help MeOur affordability work is grounded in real living costs. We protect essentials first, then set a fair monthly contribution to debts. This improves acceptance and sustainability across creditors.
Housing, energy and council tax get priority to reduce escalation risk and avoid emergency costs later.
Cards, catalogues, overdrafts, loans, and similar debts are consolidated into a fair offer via a DMP or formalised in an IVA or DRO where suitable.
See Breathing Space for a legal pause on most enforcement. This buys time to think while we build a route that fits life, not just a spreadsheet.
Use the Debt Calculator to sketch a budget you can actually keep—then we’ll refine it together.

An IVA may write off remaining eligible unsecured debt on successful completion. We’ll explain timeframes, duties and trade-offs so you can choose confidently.
