Description
Break Up With Your Debt is a campaign from Farber Debt Solutions that looks at debt the way many people actually experience it. Like a bad relationship.
For people living with serious debt, it is always there. It takes up space in your home, keeps you awake at night, and follows you into moments that should feel normal or enjoyable. Over time, that presence gets normalized, even when it is draining, toxic and unhealthy.
The campaign brings that feeling to life by personifying debt as an intrusive, inconsiderate partner who shows up uninvited in everyday moments. Debt sits beside you while you are trying to get things done, steals your sleep, and takes more than it gives. The behaviour is familiar, uncomfortable, and intentional.
By framing debt as a relationship people can leave, Break Up With Your Debt shifts the conversation away from shame and toward agency. Farber is positioned as the partner that helps people make that break and move forward.
