With the ongoing cost of living crisis, people are under pressure just to get by and often it can feel there is no one to turn to or no help available. The Counsumer Council’s True Cost campaign will guide you to the help and support available if your financial situation is a constant worry.

1. If you are struggling to make ends meet and your financial situation is a constant worry, help is available.
2. If you are struggling with existing debt and are worried about repayments or they are causing stress and anxiety, help is available.
3. If you feel you have no option but to borrow money, there may be more alternatives than you realise, even if they have a poor credit history, more information.
4. If you are worried about illegal lending or have already borrowed from someone who is not licensed, there is help and guidance available.
