Difficulties Paying Your Rent?

We understand that occasionally people experience financial difficulties which can lead to rent arrears. If you have money problems we can help you with these but you must tell us as soon as you get into difficulties.

• We can visit you at your home to discuss your difficulties and we can help you to sort things out
• We can work out a payment plan with you to pay off the arrears over a period of time
• We can refer you to specialist debt advisers who can contact other people who you owe money to such as catalogues, banks, credit card companies etc.
• We can help you to claim other welfare benefits which you may be entitled to

These are just some of the ways in which we can help and support you to resolve your money problems. However, we can only help if you tell us that you have a problem. If you do not tell us that you have a problem and if you make arrangements to repay your arrears but do not keep to these arrangements you could be evicted from your home.

If you are experiencing difficulties paying your rent please contact your rents officer today. Remember we are here to help!
