Advice & Support
We understand that debt can often arise unexpectedly, where you have lost your job, become ill and/or had a change of circumstances in your family. We offer free friendly impartial advice to help you to ease your financial worries. If you are struggling to repay your debt, our debt team can help you to find a solution to get out of it.
The process will involve
1. Collecting all the information about your debts
2. Check if you have to actually pay it
3. Work out which debts are the most urgent and deal with those first including bailiffs
4. Check whether there are any options for getting out of the debt
5. Helping you to make a plan to pay your debt
6. Assist you with a bankruptcy or DRO application
7. Provide you with tips to help reduce your regular living costs by completing a financial statement and referring you to appropriate schemes
8. Check if you can increase your income (we have a team of Welfare Benefit advisors who can offer you a benefit check to see if there are any benefits you are not claiming but entitled to)
