Have you been moved to Universal Credit?
December 24, 2024
If you've recently switched from legacy benefits to Universal Credit, we know that the change from weekly or fortnightly to monthly payments can be difficult to adjust to. You'll have to change the way you manage your money, and it's easy to get behind on bills.
If you're finding this difficult, here are some options that may help:
- Changing how your Universal Credit is paid: Some people can be paid Universal Credit in a different way, to make it easier to budget. Find out what changes are possible, and how to ask for them, at Citizens Advice.
- Changing how you pay your Sheffield Credit Union loan: If you are still paying your loan with us weekly, fortnightly, or four weekly, and are finding this difficult, please contact our payments team on 0114 252 1932, or by email to payments@sheffieldcreditunion.com.
- Get help with money, debt and the cost of living: Find out about other organisations who can help with money problems in our Money Support section.
