Now is a good time to sort out any debts. Council Tax debts remain the largest debt type across the country, up almost a quarter (24 per cent) on last year, as a ‘priority debt’ you need to pay the debt off before other debts so it’s important to get advice.

You don’t need to cope alone with any debt or money worry. Our advisers are just a phone call away, and we have lots of different ways that we can help depending on your circumstances.

Together we can look at your budget and see how you could make any savings, identify if you are entitled any other income, and we can work on your behalf in arranging affordable repayments to your creditors.

Free, confidential advice and help is available from South Lakes Citizens Advice Bureau on any aspect of debt, consumer problems, benefits, housing, employment and any other problems. We have various outlets across South Lakeland and can also give advice over the phone – telephone 015394 46464 for an appointment and help.
