Advantages: Good advice and free

Disadvantages: Might have to wait to see someone

The Citizens Advice Bureau is the ideal place to go if you need to get advice on a wide range of both legal and financial matters especially when it comes to establishing just what you rights are. They can provide advice on benefits and the like and can also help people complete application forms for benefits or other complicated forms that Governments like to design.

CAB offices are often located in the centres of town or attached to other local government buildings however they are not government controlled rather they are staffed by a mixture of volunteers and paid professionals and usually operate on a drop in policy with appointments possible after an initial assessment.

On the odd occasion I have needed their asistance I have always found the staff to be helpful and a friend who got into really bad debt a couple of years ago found the excellent at helping to both organise and also negotiate repayment terms with the credit card companies that meant that they did not have any bad debt registered against them.

The service they provide is very valuable indeed and if you have money problems they are well worth a visit.

Summary: Advice availble for everyone
