Financial Counselling
Financial counselling services help people who are under financial stress. Our financial counsellors can help manage a short term crisis and help avoid future problems by assisting clients to remain independent and take control of their own financial affairs.
Typical problems financial counsellors can assist with include:- Financial overcommitment
- Dealing with debt collectors or threats
- Tax debts, unpaid fines, uninsured vehicle accidents
- Eviction or disconnection notices
- Court proceedings for debt recovery
- Financial settlement post separation or divorce
- Child support payments
- Retirement or redundancy
Our financial counsellors can help make financial distress manageable by helping organise personal financial information, design a budget, assess eligibility for government assistance, negotiate with creditors, explore debt recovery/insolvency options and assist in accessing other agencies such as legal aid or problem gambling services.
