The Money Advice Service
Helping you make the most of your money
Whatever the situation with your finances, it’s good to know you’re on top of things and are making the most of what you have.
The Money Advice Service is here to help. It offers clear and unbiased money advice and information to help you make the most of your money, whatever your circumstances – and it’s free.
About the Money Advice Service
The Money Advice Service is independent and unbiased so it won’t recommend any particular products or try to sell you anything. It was set up by government and is funded by a levy on the financial services industry.
You can access their services in three ways:
Online – www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk
Over the phone
Call 0300 500 5000 and speak to a Money Adviser for unbiased advice on your money issues (call rates may vary).
Face to face
If you find that speaking to a money adviser on-line isn’t enough, you can request a face-to-face appointment by calling the number above.

The HCA believes everyone proposing to buy their own home and obtain a mortgage should be aware of what they are taking on, and what they can afford.
You should also have continued support after purchasing and the Money Advice service can offer that support by providing you with the tools to assess your financial health on an on going basis, work out priority payments such as your mortgage, and obtain help and support if your circumstances change and you need some extra advice.
The tools available through The Money advice service can also help purchasers if you are thinking of staircasing or paying back you second charge or just want to reassess your situation.
Preventing Repossesion Funds
Housing Minister Grant Shapps has announced a new £20million safety net to help ensure that mortgage repossession remains the last resort for struggling homeowners.
This Preventing Repossessions Fund gives councils the opportunity to offer small interest free loans to struggling homeowners and ensure that court desks can offer on the day advice for those facing the prospect of repossession.
