Enquiry Areas

What sort of problems can we help you with? more ...

Debt Relief Orders

I have debts I can't see any way of being able to repay since an accident which has left me unable to work. I have looked into bankruptcy but I can't afford the fee. Is there anything else I can do? more...

Health in Pregnancy Grant

Switching Mobile Phone Providers

I have been on a fixed-monthly contract with a mobile phone provider for two years, but have found a better deal and want to change companies but still keep my old phone number. I have rung my original provider, but they keep putting me on hold and making excuses for why they can't help. What can I do? more...

Paying for Training

I recently lost my job and am thinking about retraining. I've seen an ad for a short course that would qualify me for security work. It means paying quite a bit up front, which I can't really afford right now, but if it makes me more employable it would probably be worth it. Any advice? more...

Redundancy

The company I work for hasn't been doing so well recently and there are rumours they are going to be making a lot of people redundant. What are my rights in this situation? How do I know whether I've been chosen fairly and do I have to accept the redundancy? more...

I got into very bad debt a few years ago after losing my job and managed to set up a debt management plan with lower payments over a longer period of time. But my financial situation is now increasingly difficult with rising fuel and food prices. What should I do? more...

Indirect discrimination on religious grounds

I'm Jewish and need to take Friday afternoons off work in winter to get home before dark and prepare for the Sabbath. At the moment, my boss is happy to let me do this and make up the time during the rest of the week. However, he is thinking of introducing a new shift pattern, which means I will not be able to do this any more. Can he do this? more...
