2. How can a money adviser help me?
There are many ways to deal with debt and it is important to get advice as soon as possible.
You can get free and confidential advice from a trained money adviser, for example, through local authority money advice units or Citizens Advice Bureaux.
Many creditors are aware of the Money Advice Liaison Group's Mental Health Guidelines. Anyone with mental health issues who owes money should speak to a money adviser.
A money adviser can help you decide how to deal with your debts, how to maximise your income and how to deal with emergencies, for example, if your bank account is frozen, your wages arrested or your gas is cut off.
You may be able to make some payments to your creditors and a money adviser can help you decide how best to do this.
Your creditors may take you to court to try to get their money back.
Money advisers may be able to help with court representation.
There are tables here which can be filled in and taken with you to the money advice office so that your money adviser has an accurate picture of your financial picture in order to help you. |
