Financial Statement

A Financial Statement, also known as an Income and Expenditure Form, is a document showing a complete overview of your monthly incomings and outgoings. This can be used to demonstrate your financial situation to creditors, such as ourselves.

When you complete a Financial Statement, you’ll need your financial details to hand such as bank statements, payslips, utility bills and any details for other expenditure you may have.

If you’ve already been in touch with a Debt Management Company such as PayPlan or StepChange, and given them your Creation account information, they’ll contact us on your behalf.

How to complete a Financial Statement

There are three ways you can complete and send us a Financial Statement

  1. Complete a Financial Statement using Budget Planner, a free tool provided by MoneyHelper; requesting a link at the end of completing the planner to upload the statement to Creation,
  2. Over the phone with one of our team, calls usually last about 45mins using the relevant number above for your account, or
  3. Send us a Financial Statement you’ve already completed by clicking here.

Once we’ve received your Financial Statement and assessed how we can help, we’ll contact you by email or phone within 5 working days. This may include agreeing a repayment plan with you, based on your Financial Statement.
