Start Free CheckIf you’re searching for “Lloyds debt” because overdraft costs, loan arrears or a Lloyds credit card have become unmanageable, you’re in the right place. At Fresh Start Debt Support we turn a stressful situation into a clear, step-by-step plan. We prioritise your essentials, calm the contact, and help you move to one affordable monthly payment where suitable.
This guide focuses specifically on Lloyds Bank debts—how they typically behave, what options exist, and how to choose between a Debt Management Plan, an IVA, or a DRO depending on your budget and circumstances. We’ll also show you how Breathing Space can pause most enforcement while we prepare a solution.

Start Free CheckIt’s rarely just one thing. We regularly hear about higher living costs, reduced overtime, a new baby, rent increases or a relationship split. Overdrafts feel like “just this month” until they become the default. Cards cover the shortfall; then a loan stores the problem for later. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.
We start with a calm, factual picture: income, essentials, and every account (Lloyds and non-Lloyds). If you’re not sure of the full list, we can guide a free credit check. From there we build a realistic budget and suggest routes that protect your household first and tame the debt next.
To avoid surprises, consider using a separate basic bank account with a different bank while you set up a plan. Learn more in Overdraft Debt and Stop Debt Collectors.
If you’re hearing from BLS Collections or another agency linked to Lloyds, we’ll help you verify the account, log the balance and fold it into one affordable plan. See our collector pages like Wescot, Moorcroft, Cabot, Link Financial and PRA Group.

We’ll walk through the pros and cons of a DMP, IVA or DRO for your specific Lloyds debt mix.
We can help you use Breathing Space appropriately. You’ll receive a reference number to give to creditors while we set your plan up. We stay with you.
Begin Step 1Overdrafts are designed for short-term cashflow. But when costs rise, they start acting like a permanent loan with variable charges. Clearing them while paying for life is the hard part.
If your Lloyds overdraft has been moved to a debt collector, read our pages on firms like Wescot, Moorcroft, Cabot, Advantis, Link Financial, Capquest, Wescot, Resolvecall and PRA Group.
Long-term, high-limit overdraft use can sometimes justify a complaint about affordability or charges. We’ll explain if that’s viable and how it fits alongside your plan.
Overdraft Help NowMinimum payments can keep you treading water. We’ll help you move to a single, affordable payment across your non-priority debts (cards, catalogues, loans) where suitable. See Credit Card Debt and Catalogue Debt.
Loan arrears feel daunting, but with a realistic budget and one consolidated payment through a DMP or a formal arrangement like an IVA, you can regain control. Explore Personal Loans for general guidance.
Joint debts are shared responsibility. We’ll talk through practical steps and how each solution deals with joint borrowing—plus how to communicate with other banks if you have non-Lloyds debts (e.g., HSBC, NatWest, Barclays).
Fix My PaymentsFlexible and informal. Many creditors freeze or reduce interest/charges. Useful if your income is steady enough for a consistent 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 typically frozen for 12 months and written off if your situation doesn’t improve. Strict eligibility criteria apply.
Unsure which fits Lloyds debt in your situation? See Compare Solutions and then ask us for a tailored recommendation.
See My Best RouteIf you’re behind on priority bills, we stabilise those before finalising offers to Lloyds and other creditors. This is vital for long-term success.
Then we map an affordable payment across non-priority debts: cards, catalogues, overdrafts, loans, and more.
Protect Essentials FirstIf your Lloyds account is already in collections or you’re receiving letters and calls, take a breath. You can channel the contact through a plan that reflects what you can genuinely afford, not a one-off figure that breaks your budget next month.
Read our guides: What is debt collection? and Stop Debt Collectors. If a specific firm is involved, check our pages on Lowell, Cabot, Moorcroft, Advantis, Link Financial, Capquest, Wescot, Resolvecall, Hoist, Robinson Way, Fredrickson, Moriarty Law, Drydensfairfax and PRA Group.
Where appropriate, we’ll also help you use Breathing Space to pause most enforcement while your plan is being set up.
Calm The ContactOur affordability work is based on real living costs. We protect essentials first, then set a fair monthly contribution to debts. This improves acceptance and sustainability.
Housing, energy and council tax get priority so you can avoid escalation and 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 gives you room to think while we build a long-term route.
Use the Debt Calculator to sketch a budget you can actually keep, then we’ll refine it together.
Build My BudgetMany creditors reduce or freeze interest/charges in a DMP, but it’s never guaranteed and can vary by account and history. A realistic budget and clear communication improve outcomes.
Contact tends to reduce significantly once a plan is in place. We’ll help you channel contact and, where appropriate, use Breathing Space while set-up completes.
An IVA may write off remaining eligible unsecured debt on successful completion. We’ll explain the trade-offs (including duration and obligations) before you decide.
That’s common. Head to our pages on firms like Wescot, Cabot, Moorcroft and PRA Group. We’ll help you respond and fold it into a single plan.
Debt solutions can impact your credit file. For many people, the priority is stabilising the household and stopping the spiral. We’ll talk through short- and long-term effects clearly.
Yes. Most routes cover all your non-priority creditors in one plan—useful if you also owe to HSBC, Barclays, NatWest, or Capital One.
No. We can guide a free credit check if you’re unsure. We’ll also ask questions to find any priority debts you might not have to hand.
We set realistic headroom from day one. If your income changes, we can review and adjust where the solution allows (DMPs are typically flexible; IVAs have formal variation processes).
Yes. We regularly support sole traders and directors. See Business Debt. We’ll account for variable income and seasonality.
It’s when a bank moves funds from your account to pay its own debts owed by you. We’ll help you reduce the risk (e.g., using a separate basic account) while we set up your plan.
Yes, if eligible. It can pause most enforcement and interest/charges for 60 days while we help you plan.
