Use this section to find information you can look up for yourself

 


The bureau can discuss your individual problems with you or you can look up answers on our Adviceguide website.

Adviceguide is the online CAB information service that gives you information on your rights and helps you take the first steps in sorting out problems. The site covers a wide range of topics, including benefits, employment, housing, and has help on debt, consumer and legal issues. There is information in other languages, and also a large number of fact sheets to print off and use for reference.

Use this section to find other organisations that could help you

 

As well as looking at Adviceguide, you might find this section helpful. It features links to government, charity and other organisations' websites that might help you to solve your problems.

We have provided links to the websites of other charities and relevant organisations and to specific pages of our advice website.

Of course, you are still very welcome to contact the bureau if you want to talk through your problem with a trained adviser.

For your first visit, you need to come to the offices to see an adviser and you will be seen on a first come first served basis. You can not make an appointment because many people make arrangements and do not show up. Please come to one of our 'drop in sessions' which are held each weekday (except Tuesdays).

There are often more people requiring help than we have advisers to assist, so it is advisable to come early.
Telephone information is available per the above schedule, regrettably, due to the number of people trying to get through to us we are not able to answer every call.
