ALL THE HELP YOU NEED WTIH PAYING YOUR RENT

Or make an agreement to repay your rent in instalments.
direct you towards independent advice agencies such as the Citizens Advice Bureau or .
Alternatively, you can visit the website of National Debtline or the Consumer Credit Counselling Service.
But you need to move FAST! If you don’t tell us you’ve got a problem, or if you don’t keep to an agreement to pay off arrears, as we check rent accounts very regularly, we will quickly contact you to ask you to clear the debt as soon as possible. If repayment agreements are not made or not kept to, we will be forced to take formal action against you through the Court, which could ultimately end up with you losing your home.
