Hi Patchy,
Your friend could still come for an appointment if the outcome was token payments we could provide her with copies on her budget and sample letters etc but more importantly we can talk through long term solutions and look at other options. She can call for an appointment on 0800 138 1111.
Let me know if you need any help with anything
