Last year we helped
23,626 Londoners with their debt and money problems.
In London – where rents are amongst the highest in the UK – thousands of people struggle to pay their landlords every month. That’s why we offer quality, face-to-face advice to stop people falling behind with payments – and running the risk of eviction.
Debt Free London provides free, independent and expert support on all kinds of money worries. Last year, almost a third of those we helped had difficulties paying their rent.
Our trained and accredited advisors can talk to your landlord to explain your situation, assess your options and come up with a suitable payment plan. We’ll do everything we can to stop you being evicted, given bad references or losing your deposit. And we can work with you to check your benefits entitlement and reduce your household spending – so you won’t fall behind on rent in the future.
Get in touch with our team today by calling 0808 164 2480 or filling in our short assessment form.
What to expect
- We’ll use the information you’ve given us on the phone or in your assessment form to establish the nature and urgency of your debt.
- We’ll book you in for a face-to-face appointment at your nearest centre – or a telephone advice session if required – so we can give you a detailed analysis of the help available to you.
- We’ll discuss your options and talk through the pros and cons of each.
- We’ll establish the best possible solution and help you to resolve your debt – whether that’s by means of advocacy, representation or negotiation on your behalf, or by helping you write letters and supporting you throughout the process.
Every year, we help thousands of people to become debt-free.
