Struggling Wiltshire homeowners now have help at hand
According to a recent report a new scheme has been rolled out across Wiltshire to try and help the many struggling homeowners in the area that could be at risk of losing their homes through repossession.
Many homeowners in the Wiltshire area may now find that help is at hand if they are struggling to the point where they could soon be facing repossession action, and this mortgage rescue scheme has been rolled out across the area by Wiltshire Council.

According to reports help could be available to households that have annual incomes of less that £60,000 in total. It is thought that this will include many people disabled people, elderly people, and families with young children, all of whom may be able to get help through this rescue scheme.
Industry officials are now urging households who are struggling and feel that they could be facing repossession to contact the council as early as possible, as there could be help available and there is plenty of advice on offer that could help them to avoid losing their homes. Alabaré Christian Care Centres is working in conjunction with Wiltshire Council in order to provide a money advice service to local residents that are struggling and are at increased risk of repossession.
One council official said: “In these difficult times it is important for the council to help out wherever it can. This scheme is one of many ways we are helping households through the recession. I would urge anyone at risk of losing their home to contact the council as soon as they become aware of debt problems, because help is at hand.”
