    Yes, get help from one of the free debt agencies in my signature.

    There are measures in place to deal with problem debt, all you have to do is ask.

    Hi there and welcome to the forum


    We would need to know more about your situation to offer you advice. If you have paid Rossendales that suggests you have a bailiff trying to collect a debt and I would echo sourcrates' advice to contact one of the free debt advice agencies for help.


    In the meantime keep your doors locked as most bailiffs don't have the power to force entry.

    Sourcrates - I don't know if this is an adblock issue, but I can't see any debt charities in your signature, just a blurb about being the board guide. Depending on how you've set it up, you may want to tweak it to make sure they're always visible?
