Open Door

A borrower’s survival guide to the credit crunch

Citizens Advice Bureaux (CAB) are a local resource giving free, independent, impartial and confidential advice and be used by anyone (young, old, rich, poor)  when things get bad.
In the past months, CAB have recorded record levels of self help debt packs being given out, although the CAB fear worse is to come with high winter energy bills,  the end of fixed rate mortgages and job loses.   As we are all too aware, the cost of energy has soared by 17% and food bills by 12%.

If you find your outgoings are more than your income, don’t ignore it.    If you are worried about your finances, start talking to the organisations that have lent you money (building society, bank, credit card) to ask what options are available.   Talk to your partner.   Seek help from a free debt adviser.

London House Open Door is open every Wednesday 9.30am to 11.30am and has a CAB adviser who can help you with your finances and if necessary refer you to a specialist debt adviser.
