Mortgage Advice - Debt Advice

Financial Services > Mortgages > Advice > Debt Advice

If you are having difficulties making your monthly loan payments then contact your lender(s) as soon as possible. The sooner you contact them the sooner you will be able to get the situation sorted out and the more helpful they will be. Once contacted, your lender may permit you to make underpayments until your financial position improves. Again this will depend on the lender.

There are also free organisations that are able to offer advice and guidance if you are having debt problems, such as the Citizens' Advice Bureau. Click here to find their phone number. Give them a call and get hold of a copy of their booklet on dealing with debt, and where possible ask to speak to someone in person.  

They will also ask you the right questions to make sure you are collecting any benefits you are entitled to and will help you compose letters to your creditors. And, if you find yourself, stuck some will even go with you to any court hearings you may be facing.
