Managing Debt

Debt can be a frightening subject, affecting many different people. Debt will not go away if you ignore it and can have serious, life altering consequences if it is not dealt with. It is never too late to get your debts under control.

Please remember that your rent is one of your priority debts and non payment of your rent can lead to you being evicted from your home. This is always a last resort for Hightown and we will work with you as much as possible to prevent this from happening, however we can only help if we have your full co-operation.

Our dedicated team can help you complete any budget planning forms, assist you in what benefits you may be entitled to and discuss an affordable repayment agreement with you for any rent arrears you may have. If you have any queries regarding debts or feel we may be able to help you further please contact the Income Recovery Team on 01442 292 361.
