Tell us about debt's impact on your wellbeing

The Royal Society for Public Health is a charity which works to improve the public’s health and wellbeing.

It’s currently investigating how the use of credit products can impact people’s mental and physical health – including payday loans, doorstep loans, weekly payment stores, credit unions, catalogue credit, overdrafts, credit cards, bank loans and pawnbroker loans.

If you've used any of these in the past two years, or any alternative forms of credit, the Royal Society for Public Health would love to hear your views in its survey.

Please note that the survey asks you to assess factors relating to your mental and financial wellbeing, which some might find upsetting. If you are struggling with your debt, see our Debt Problems guide for tips on how to deal with it, and organisations which might be able to help you.

The survey should take about 10 minutes. Each respondent will have the chance to win one of five £200 prizes.

After you’ve done the survey, please do feel free to also share your experiences below.

RSPH is particularly keen to hear from people who've used credit union loans in the past.

I wonder why it's only aimed at people who have used credit in the past two years? A large number of people on this forum have been on DMPs or some other form of plan to clear their debts for longer than that and therefore have not used credit in the past two years.
Even so, I would think these people have useful input into a survey like that.

Oh well.... I guess the people running the survey have limited it for a reason :huh:
