Renters face post Christmas money worries

'Research' from Shelter guess-timates that nearly 60% of households are struggling to meet their January housing costs after the christmas blow out. 

The charity believes that one in nine of the population ( which equates to 3 million UK households by their reckoning) are fearful as to whether they will  be able to afford January’s rent or mortgage repayments.

Shelter report a spike in the visits to their websites help pages on advice for eviction and repossession  advice, saying

“Many people have spent a long time thinking they have nowhere to turn and are often close to breaking point by the time they come to us. If you’re in this situation, it’s so important to remember you’re not alone and that help is available.”
