What Bills Should I Pay First?

If you fall behind with your rent we will try to come to an arrangement with you to schedule payments. If you don't make an agreement to clear your arrears or you make one and don't manage to stick to it, you could lose your home. 

If you're struggling to pay your council tax, speak to your local council for support. If you do not pay your council tax a court can instruct bailiffs to take your belongings. In some cases, non payment of council tax can lead to imprisonment. 

You could have your electricity cut off if you don't pay your bill. Additionally, you may need to have a pre-payment meter installed to run your power and help you manage your costs. 

Court fines can lead to bailiff action which could result in your belongings being taken and sold to pay off your debts. Money can also be taken directly from your earnings and you could be sent to prison. 

Non-payment of maintenance bills can lead to bailiff action to take your belongings in order to sell them and pay off your debts. 

If you don't pay a loan secured using another item as a guarantee or a bill for an item purchased on credit, such as a car or electrical goods, the item used to secure the loan is at risk of being taken from you.
