Key Advice
- Take Action ASAP
- If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, it’s always better to deal with them straight away. Acting quickly could make a big difference to you.
- Let your relevant agency or creditors know you are struggling. You may be able to agree with them a temporary reduction on your payments. It’s always better to pay something than nothing.
- Help is available, it’s best to face things head on and get in touch with the relevant agency as soon as possible.
- Prioritise essential household bills like rent, mortgage, Council Tax, gas and electricity above credit cards and loans – let creditors know you are struggling.
- If you can’t keep on top of gas and electricity payments, please continue to pay what you can and talk to your supplier.
- Make sure the advice you are given is from a trusted and official source.
