Summarization
Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) will be hosting a conference for free debt advice sector in partnership with other organizations. CAS has helped over 750,000 people with its HelpToClaim service and an extra ยฃ22m has been invested to extend the service for another year. The organization has also conducted research as part of its DebtHappens campaign, which found that 800,000 people in Scotland expect to increase their credit card use during the cost of living crisis. CAS is seeking candidates for two vacancies in Glasgow and an HR head maternity cover in Edinburgh. Furthermore, individuals struggling with council tax are urged to visit their website, where they can find savings, discounts, or exemptions. There have been reports of some businesses selling counterfeit items at Thistles_SC, for which StirlingCouncil has been urged to take action.
