The problem

Many vulnerable people facing enforcement action "slip through the net" of traditional support systems, unable or unwilling to engage early.

CDER’s Welfare Team recognised that lengthy phone-based income and expenditure (I&E) assessments were barriers to meaningful support. Assessments lacked consistency, and many arrangements failed due to affordability misjudgements or missing context around customers' life events.
Our solution

CDER and IE Hub created a self-serve I&E tool for customers to securely share finances, upload documents, and update debts online at their own pace-without pressure.

IE Hub collaborated with CDER to integrate the tool across letters, emails, SMS, website, and live chat. CDER's team received thorough training, with ongoing feedback between IE Hub and CDER's Welfare Team to ensure the solution adapted to user needs.
The results

In the first year, CDER experienced a 56% rise in sustainable payment arrangements. Thousands of customers used IE Hub’s tool to identify £7.3m in unclaimed benefits.

Efficiency improved as vulnerability assessments at Compliance Stage increased by 26.5%, while call times dropped 17%. Broken payment plans among vulnerable customers fell by 16%. Customer satisfaction was high, with 91% feeling more able to set up a payment plan and 73% reporting reduced anxiety about debt.
