The Citizens Advice & Rights Fife (CARF) service is free, confidential and impartial. Contact them by using the self-service portal, or telephone 03451 400 94 between 8:30am and 4pm, Monday to Friday. If you are a social landlord tenant, you can ask your housing officer to refer you.
These letters often include RED ink and can refer to legal action being taken in the future, CCJ’s or defaults being placed on your credit file and requesting contact with your creditor to discuss repayment.
If you have received a reminder letter for bills or a debt that has not been paid by the due date, we can help.

Regardless of who long, how much you are due or if you have used our service for advice before, we want to help.
