Charlie Hardwick, who stars as Emmerdale's Val Lambert supports our Money Talk guide and gives this message to our customers.
"It is very easy to fall behind with payments, and before you know it you are in trouble with debt. The longer you leave it, praying it will go away, the worse it gets. It weighs you down and follows you like a heavy shadow. But there is always light at the end of the darkest tunnel.
Seek help. Don't be embarrassed, shy or afraid. Don't live in fear. There is a way to get peace of mind, and freedom from debt, but the first step is to get help.
Aire Valley Homes Leeds' door is always open and the people there will listen, or you can request a visit. Good luck."
