How can I pay off my arrears?

• Make an agreement with the Debt Prevention and Recovery Team of South Somerset Homes to repay an amount which you can afford and are able to stick to.

• Check your benefits entitlement, every little helps.

• We may be able to ask for money to be deducted directly from your benefits each week.

• Inform both Housing Benefit and the Debt Prevention and Recovery Team of any changes to your financial or household circumstances.
