He now engages with a church, both socially and for Sunday worship; however, the cloud of debt and the threat of eviction is exacerbating his mental health state.

C is seventy five and has suffered several stokes over the years, which severely impact his speech, making it very hard for him to be understood. He walks slowly with a walker. Christians Against Poverty have been working with him to help him manage his limited income, but past electricity charges and day care debts have mounted, making it impossible for him to catch up. A Debt Relief Order would allow him to get his head above water again, and enable him to keep on top of the bills as they come in. Please can you help?

T lives in Bedford, and his circumstances, particularly his relationship breakdown, have meant that he has needed to move several times in quick succession. He now rents one room in shared accommodation and has some work as a Labourer, but his income is very low. All this has resulted in debts he is unable to pay. Being able to apply for a Debt Relief Order would allow him a fresh start, free from the repercussions of his debt, and the worry this is causing.
