Money Matters Advice Service

The Money Matters Advice Service is a free and confidential service that helps people living in South Lanarkshire or working for South Lanarkshire Council claim benefits and deal with debt.

We can give you free unbiased advice on a range of benefit and debt issues and will work with you by discussing all your options and come up with a plan together. We can help with:

• the cost-of-living crisis including advice on energy arrears
• gas and electricity top up vouchers
• debt advice including mortgage and rent arrears and dealing with creditors
• benefits advice
• budgeting

Please see our related content pages for full details on how we can help you along with contact details for our service.  

You can also contact us for help and advice by completing our online enquiry form.

If you are having difficulty completing our enquiry form, the YouTube film below may help.

Once we receive your enquiry, an advisor will contact you within five working days. If you are in food or fuel emergency, please don't use the enquiry form, please call us directly on 0303 029 0041. 

The Scottish Government website also has information on financial assistance and support that may be available to you.
