How does CCLS & Financial Counselling work together?
CCLS provides legal advice on banking and financial matters, which means we can advise you on your legal rights, obligations and options in relation to consumer law or credit law problems you may be facing.
However, we cannot give you advice on budgeting, financial decisions, eligibility for government assistance or other financial services that financial counsellors provide.
