Citizens Advice is the CAB self-help website which is available 24 hours a day. It gives information on your rights and helps you take the first steps in sorting out problems. The site covers a wide range of topics including benefits, employment, housing and has help on debt, consumer and legal issues. There is information in other languages, and also a large number of fact sheets to print off and use for reference.
