Debt and budgeting advice

If you are finding it hard to pay your bills, 54North Homes has a dedicated Money Matters Caseworker, who can support you to claim all the benefits you are entitled to. Please ask for a referral.

There are also a number of local organisations that specialise in budgeting and advice.

We recommend the following organisations: 
Stepchange Debt Charity 
Money Buddies 
Better Leeds Communities 
Citizens Advice 
Money Helper 
CAP 

They can help you work out the best way for you to deal with your debts and access a Breathing Space agreement to give you time to sort out your finances.

We regularly speak to customers who are unaware about additional benefits that they could be claiming which often amount to significant sums of money. We would always encourage you to use an online Benefits Calculator such as www.entitledto.co.uk to check if you are receiving the right amount of money in your benefit claims or whether you are eligible for other types of benefits or support.
