Founded in 1987, MALG is the only UK membership organisation that brings the whole debt ecosystem together – advisers, creditors and lenders, the collections and enforcement sector, regulators, policymakers, service providers and other stakeholders – in one place.
We’re not-for-profit, with a single agenda: better outcomes for people in financial difficulty. Because when everyone who shapes this landscape is talking to each other, the people who need help most stop falling through the gaps.
Our role is to facilitate ‘working together to improve the lives of people with problem debt’ and we do this through a programme of virtual and face-to-face meetings and events, creating a community and ‘safe space’ for vital conversations and collaboration.
