Money matters - where to start

There is a wide range of financial advice and support available in Rutland. We have organised this below into some themes to help you to find the right service for you.

Citizens Advice Rutland offer a comprehensive money advice service, covering priority and non-priority debts, negotiated payment plans, court action, bailiffs, repossession and insolvency. They can also help you to learn to budget.

Priority debts include rent, council tax, water, electricity and gas and TV licence. Non-priority debts include credit cards, bank or family loans and HP agreements.

Whatever your issue, a good starting point is the government’s MoneyHelper website, that has information and resources to help you manage your money and keep up with bills.

If you are worried about debt, speaking to a trained and experienced debt adviser about your situation could help you decide what to do.
