Citizens Advice Scotland

Citizens Advice Scotland provides free, confidential, and impartial advice on a wide range of issues including benefits, debt, housing, employment, and consumer rights. The Adviceline connects callers to their local Citizens Advice Bureau, which may require providing a postcode for routing. The service is available Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:00 and on Saturday from 09:00 to 13:00. Calls are free from both mobiles and landlines. Typical wait times can be long, especially at the start of the day or during peak demand, so calling later might be beneficial. Online resources are also available for those who prefer digital assistance.
