How can I get help with debt?

Don’t get weighed down by debt

Most people get into debt at some point in their life. Debt has become part of everyday living and isn’t a problem unless it becomes unmanageable.

What if I owe rent? If you owe us rent, please read our Debt Problems leaflet which gives help and advice on what to do. A copy of our Debt Problems leaflet is available to download at the bottom of this page. What if I owe Council Tax? If you owe Council Tax to Sheffield City Council, please click here for advice and information.

Other organisations that can help

There are a number of organisations who will offer you good quality, free local advice. You can find their details in our Debt Problems leaflet at the bottom of this page.

Debt Management Plans and Individual Voluntary Arrangements

Organisations who advertise debt solutions such as Debt Management Plans (DMP) and Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA) make a profit from setting up these procedures. Although they may be appropriate for you, we strongly advise that you always take independent advice on all the options for dealing with debt before contacting any DMP/ IVA provider.
