Legal and Debt Advice
Legal advice
Retail Trust can organise a session with an affiliated legal firm run by trained solicitors. Legal fees can be costly but Retail Trust offers this service free to people who are working in retail (and associated businesses) and their families. Please see Am I eligible?
Legal problems such as property, debt, wills, family, consumer rights and other issues can be discussed confidentially with a trained professional. Please call the Retail Trust Helpline on 0808 801 0808 for more details.
Case study
Sheila’s husband was having an affair and when she confronted him about it, he disappeared, leaving her with four children and mounting mortgage payments that she couldn’t repay on her own. Not knowing where to turn, she became very stressed and it began to affect her work. Her manager suggested Retail Trust.
“It was such a stressful time for me and I couldn’t see a way out. Retail Trust granted me access to a free phone call with a trained solicitor who allowed me to see all the different options available which gave me a plan, and some peace of mind.”

“I couldn’t see a way out of my debts and turned to prostitution to pay the bills, but every time I thought of my kids, I was consumed with guilt over it. Retail Trust pointed me in the direction of some really helpful agencies and I can now manage my debt without resorting to prostitution. I feel much happier. Thank you Retail Trust.”
"Now I’ll be able to answer the door and the phone again…Thank you."
