MABS Helpline

The Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS) is a free, independent and confidential service that provides support in all areas of financial debt including mortgage arrears, bank loans, overdrafts, utilities and credit cards. 
MABS services include:
•    Helping clients to deal with debts and to make out budgets
•    Examining clients' incomes to make sure entitlements are not being missed
•    Contacting clients' creditors with offers of payment (where this is necessary)
•    Helping clients to decide on the best way to make payments
If you are already in serious mortgage arrears, you can get support from MABS under Abhaile.  More information on Abhaile is included separately in the directory. 

In addition, National Traveller MABS advocates for the financial inclusion of Travellers in Ireland and works with the Traveller community to increase financial capability.
