Get the credit seal of approval in your area

IT’S totally unacceptable that those with the least money pay the most to borrow and for basic household essentials. We want to end this.

That’s why we have teamed up with Hollywood star and activist Michael Sheen and his End High Cost Credit Alliance to launch our Fair Credit for All campaign.

Together we will help cities, towns and communities across the UK to have access to fairer and affordable credit, and experts who can help people to get their finances back on track if they hit hard times. We will work our way around the country to create five communities where people are no longer forced to pay rip-off interest rates and charges.

We want councils, local authorities and governments to join the campaign, along with debt charities and financial organisations such as credit unions and not-forprofit responsible lenders who offer fair products.

To be given a Fair Credit for All campaign stamp of approval, towns, cities and communities will need to achieve the following three criteria: must be available and accessible to all in their community.

We are kicking our campaign off in Leeds and will bring you regular updates, highlighting organisations doing a brilliant job at providing the products and support people need.

We want to hear from readers, charities, councils, local authorities and small firms offering fair credit and financial help who want to join our campaign to ensure everyone has access to fair financial products. Email us at: money@mirror.co.uk, with Fair Credit for All in subject line.
