What to bring on your local Citizens Advice visit

When you visit your local Citizens Advice, it’s important that the adviser you speak to has as much information about your case as possible.

If you don’t bring the necessary paperwork with you – you might have to come back another time. This means it could take you longer to get the help you need.

This page gives you an idea of the kind of information it’s useful to bring with you. If you haven’t got everything that’s shown, don’t worry – bring as much as you can find.

It can be important to get help as soon as possible because you might only have a short amount of time to take action.

Debt and money problems

  • details of your income – wage slips, benefit letters, tax credits

  • copy of any court papers
  • details of your household expenditure – how much you spend on food, transport, phone and energy bills etc
