Kuchelewa kulipa kodi ya pango kunatia msongo, lakini kuchukua hatua mapema hukupa chaguo zaidi. Programu za Bridgeport hutoa msaada wa dharura wa pango, pango la nyuma, amana na msaada wa kisheria.
Nani anaweza kupata msaada
Programu za msaada wa pango kwa kawaida huangalia kipato na sababu ya kuchelewa. Notisi ya kufukuzwa au kuzimwa kwa huduma inaweza kukuongeza kipaumbele. Huhitaji nyaraka kamili ili kuanza.
