Avoid financial problems spiralling out of control.
Shelter’s helpline receives many calls from people in desperation, and on the brink of losing their home, because bills and notices have been left unopened and problems have piled up. This January Shelter is encouraging those at risk to seek advice from Shelter. If you need help, or simply want some advice you can contact Shelter here: www.shelter.org.uk/advice
For lots of people, the New Year period brings further challenges and worries. That’s why we are urging anyone worried about paying their rent or mortgage to make seeking early housing advice their New Year’s resolution.
