Debt and welfare rights advice
Summary
If you have problems with debt we can provide confidential advice, negotiate with creditors and represent you in court.
If you are having difficulty with mortgage or rent payments, or have been threatened with repossession, please contact us to see how we can assist you.
We can offer independent advice on whether you or your family might be entitled to state benefits - whether you are sick or in work, retired, disabled or caring for someone.
We can help you to fill in Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance forms, and represent you at tribunal. And if you have problems with debt, we can provide confidential advice.
Full details of Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance available here.
