Debt Advice

The Bureau’s Debt Adviser provides specialist advice to clients, who are referred from our General Advice Service at First Avenue House, by the Lawyers at our Royal Courts of Justice branch and directly from the High Court. Clients are also referred to us by other advice agencies which do not have access to specialist debt adviser.
