Money help and advice

We understand the problems of getting by on a limited budget, so we're ready to help you sort things out.

If you are having money problems and are struggling to pay your rent or service charges or other bills, we can arrange for you to talk to a money adviser. They will give you free, independent, specialist advice.

The adviser can help make sure you stay in your home by:

• Checking you are receiving all of the welfare benefits you are entitled to
• Seeing if any loans or credit cards can be transferred to loans with lower interest rates
• Putting you in touch with Tower Hamlets Credit Union
• Helping you reduce other outgoings
• Making sure that you are aware of where to go for training or employment advice
• Agreeing a realistic payment plan between you and Tower Hamlets Homes to prevent you losing your home
• Setting up a bank account to ensure your bills are paid on time through direct debit or standing order
• Helping you with Fuel Poverty (Gas, Water and Electricity arrears) by contacting your Energy suppliers and making grant applications for financial assistance

The adviser will be able to meet at a location convenient for you. Contact us now for further information:
