Council Tax
Unpaid council tax bills are taken very seriously by local authorities, who are fast to take bailiff action against you to recover council tax arrears. Bailiffs will call at your house threatening to seize your belongings. The council may also take court action to deduct money from your wages, leaving you with even less money to pay your other bills.

Utility bill debt
If you miss one or more payment to your utility provider – be it for gas, electricity or water – you may find yourself falling behind to the point where the debt becomes unmanageable. Utility costs can arise unexpectedly, and occasionally paper bills can get lost in the mail. But, no matter what the reason might be, failing to pay on time will unsettle creditors. Utility companies appreciate good communication, so take the time to get in touch whenever you have a payment issue. If you can, set money aside for bills ahead of schedule and set up standing orders to make sure you’re meeting the payment deadline every month.
We could help you get out of debt, with your loans, credit cards, catalogues, payday loans and many other debts.
