Debt, Money Management and Energy Advice
If you are struggling to manage your money (i.e. paying your water bills or other household bills, credit cards or other consumer debts) and would like some advice from one of our expert money advice caseworkers, contact us. See our Contact Us page.
When contacting us, please make sure you have information about your income (wages, benefit awards, pensions and other income) and a list of your regular expenses (such as rent, council tax, gas/electricity, water etc.). Our Budget Tool can help you with this.
You can also access lots of useful information on our Debt and Money Advice Guide pages.
Clients who have debts or have difficulty managing their money are assisted to look at their current Income and Expenditure (budget). We then identify whether they can save any money in order to reduce their expenditure and/or maximise their income.
We also provide advice on benefits/tax credits and look at other ways in which clients can maximise their income.
