Where to get advice

Where you go to get advice depends on your circumstances, whether you want to talk to people face to face or by telephone, whether you have access to the internet and what exactly you want to know.

You will be able to talk to a Housing Officer who will give you advice and help find a way to solve the problem. Our money advisor can also provide help in a number of positive ways. For further details of this service, please see the Money Advice Service page.

There are plenty of places where you can get advice. All you have to do is take the first step and make contact. Whatever you do, don’t bury your head in the sand. Problems don’t go away.

Act now! Ask for help!
