Can't pay my mortgage

If you're struggling with mortgage payments, check to see if you could be entitled to help from the government to pay your mortgage.

The government help with mortgages is a loan, but you don't have to pay it back until you sell your house.

You can check if you're entitled to help paying your mortgage using our free, confidential Benefits Calculator.

If you're behind with mortgage payments, MoneyHelper gives a step by step guide for what you should do.
