Types of Debt
We can help with all debt and money problems, but these are some of the more
common issues we see. Find out more about the types of debt you might be
encountering
Rent Arrears
In London – where rents are amongst the highest in the UK – thousands of people struggle to pay their landlords every month.
Council Tax
This is the most common type of debt we see. Last year, a third of those we helped had fallen behind with Council Tax payments.
Credit or Store Cards
It's easy to fall behind on your credit or store card payments. Last year, over a quarter of those we helped owed on their cards.
Utility Bills
No-one should have to go without heating or electricity at any time. Get help to repay your utility debt now before these vital services are cut off.
Benefit Overpayments
People are often paid too much benefit – either because their circumstances have changed, or due to a simple mistake, but paying this back can be far from easy.
