You can contact the Citizens Advice consumer helpline if you:

Call our helpline

 You can contact an adviser by calling the consumer helpline.

Telephone: 0808 223 1133

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm - except on public holidays.

Calls are free from mobiles and landlines.

Chat with us online

Chat’s usually available between 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday - it's not available on public holidays.

You can start a chat by clicking the ‘Talk to an adviser’ button - it will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen when an adviser is available. 

If there isn’t a button, this means our advisers are chatting to other people and aren’t available right now.

Some 'ad blocker' software stops chat working. If you use an ad blocker, make sure you add citizensadvice.org.uk as a trusted site.

To connect you to the right adviser, we’ll ask you for a few details, including your postcode.
