Repossessions

Member of Parliament for Leicester South
A local MP welcomes the Government’s recent announcement to further extend its drive to tackle repossessions.

Leicester is one of 30 cities where the special helpline number and the Government’s repossessions help website will be advertised on the local radio and the local press.

Sir Peter Soulsby, MP for Leicester South, said: “This advertising campaign will benefit the home owners in Leicester who may be under pressure, especially following the Christmas period. People across the City can get the free, impartial advice they need online or on the phone.”

“This further initiative demonstrates the Government’s commitment to help homeowners who are struggling with mortgage repayments. The Government’s measures to date have resulted in repossessions currently running at nearly half the rate of the previous recession. Demonstrating that Labour provides real help for real people.”

The website address is www.direct.gov.uk/mortgagehelp
The number for The National Debtline’s free advice line is 0808 808 4000.
