Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council along with our partners in the Redcar & Cleveland Financial Inclusion Group have launched a new Money Advice Service on the Council's Customer Portal.
This service aims to ensure that you have access to a means of support when you need it most. The service can help if you need support in any of the following areas: -
- Dealing with Debt
- Benefit entitlement and disputes

Whether it be checking what your benefit entitlements are, helping you deal with debt or planning for your retirement this service will point you in the right direction by combining local and national money advice services in one place.

You will be asked to sign in to your Customer Portal account or register to create an account.
