Surviving the Credit Crunch

During this period of financial uncertainty for the country, for businesses and for families and individuals, it can be difficult to know where to turn for the right information. If you are concerned about your own finances, your job or your prospects during and after the economic downturn, it is important to  know that help is available.

On these pages, Waveney District Council brings you a wealth of information about the help that is available to you – both from the council itself and from other agencies and organisations.

This situation is a high priority for Waveney District Council. If we can offer advice at an early stage, we can help people improve their situation and prevent potential reposessions or evictions.

Local businesses also need advice on how to adapt to consolidate their current position and survive the emerging pressures by making the right business decisions for the future.

Whether you want to find your way back to work, get information about the benefits you’re entitled to, get help managing your debt, or find advice on mortgage payments, this is the place for you.
