Don't know what to do about your financial problems?

This service is free and available to anyone facing financial hardship. While it won't take your debt away, at least you will begin to have some control over your life again.

If you're behind in credit repayments, have become responsible for someone else's debt and can't face opening the mail - don't delay.

If you can't meet your repayments, you could prevent repossession, increased interest payments or eviction by approaching the lender early to rearrange your payments to suit your changed circumstances. If this fails, contact our services or the credit section of Fair Trading immediately. Under our credit laws, both borrower and lender are protected against unforeseeable emergencies such as unemployment and serious illness. If this happens, the contract may be varied. Fair Trading can negotiate on your behalf at no cost.

You could also contact a financial counsellor for assistance in assessing your financial situation, re-negotiating your credit contracts and planning how to manage your finances in the future.

Don't leave it until it's too late - call us for free confidential service.
