Citizens Advice Portsmouth

Benefits

It's important to make sure that you get all the help that you're entitled to.

Consumer

Find out who you can turn to for advice and who will speak up for you when things aren't right.

Debt

Dealing with money issues can sometimes be off-putting, but if you don't understand how things like credit or mortgages work, you could end up losing out financially or getting yourself deep in debt.

Family

Find out what your rights are if your relationship has broken down, for example whether you can stay in the family home or who the children should live with.

Health

Problems about health care range from knowing what you are entitled to from the NHS to how to complain if the service is poor.

Housing

Housing issues will always arise and therefore you need to know your rights and responsibilities. You could also find yourself threatened with eviction if you can't cope with your mortgage payments.

Immigration

Issues with immigration can range from information about visas, dealing with the home office, citizenship, residency and trafficing.

Law and courts

You can find out more about your rights, as well as what to do if you face discrimination, need legal advice or have to go to court without a lawyer.

Work

Having a job is an essential part of most people's lives. When you are in work, you can be faced with many difficult issues, so it is essential to know what your rights are.

Here at Citizens Advice Portsmouth, we know that good advice changes lives. Our advisers are on hand to ensure that you can access the advice services that you need. This might include speaking to one of our specialist advisers, speaking to a member of our generalist team, or signposts or referrals to specialist organisations that are best suited to meet your advice need.
