Money Wellness wants UK insolvency register kept private for victims of abuse

By: Today's Family Lawyer11 Sept 2026
Debt charity Money Wellness is calling on the UK government to shield the public insolvency register in order to protect victims of domestic abuse. The organisation wants this implemented ahead of the wider review of the Personal Insolvency Framework.

Previously, the cost threshold for a PARV order was scrapped, allowing victims to have their address withheld. Money Wellness believes this is not enough: people are still required to prove their abuse through a court process in order to prevent publication.

The call is backed by MPs, support organisations and Nationwide. According to the organisation, automatic protection would better safeguard victims without the need for a court procedure.
