💙 Worried about debt? You’re not alone.

Debt can happen to anyone. A change in circumstances, rising household bills, an unexpected expense or simply not having enough money coming in can quickly make things feel overwhelming.

But you don’t have to deal with it on your own.

At Community Law Service, our debt advice is:

🔹 Non-judgemental – we’re here to help, not to judge.
🔹 Confidential – you can talk openly and know your situation will be treated with respect.
🔹 Free – there’s no cost for our advice.
🔹 Practical – we’ll help you understand your options and work with you to find a way forward.
🔹 Independent – our advice is impartial and focused on what is best for you and your circumstances.

💡 Getting advice isn’t admitting defeat. It’s taking control. The sooner you get advice, the more options there may be available to you. Don’t wait until crisis.

We offer weekly drop-in debt advice sessions at our office in Hazelwood Road, Northampton. Every Wednesday 10-12 - just come in, speak to an adviser.
Can't come to the office? No problem - give us a call: 01604 621038 or 01933 313020 OR drop us an email: [email protected]

Thank you to NLive Radio and Miles for chatting to our CEO, Sarah, this morning on the Undiscovered Northampton show.

This was a great opportunity to highlight the new regulation of Buy Now Pay Later lenders now in force. At CLS we are seeing an increasing number of people with multiple credit agreements for these lenders. The cumulative effect of these can quickly put unmanageable pressure on household budgets.

Whilst we welcome proper regulation, we also encourage people to think carefully before taking on any debt.

Our expert, friendly advisers are here to help. If you are struggling with unmanaged debt, do get in touch for free and confidential advice. Don’t wait until crisis.
