Citizens Advice Bureau help solve nearly six million new problems every year which are central to people’s lives, including debt and consumer issues, benefits, housing, legal matters, employment and immigration. Advisers can help fill out forms, write letters, negotiate with creditors and represent clients at court or tribunal. Many bureaux provide specialist advice, often in partnership with other agencies such as solicitors and the probation service.
