Debts Owed or Claimed Between Friends or Owner-Occupier Landlords

Mostly these cases are between people who placed trust in another person and later that trust was abused or a misunderstanding or argument ensues about payment of the debt. In many cases there has been no written contracts or the contract was poorly written. In this case you can seek advice from your local Citizen’s Advice Bureau. They will offer a free consultation, assess your evidence and advise you on next steps.
