A series of press, online and billboard advertisements will highlight the measures the Government has put in place at every stage for homeowners to avoid repossession. Over 300,000 people have received help and advice in paying their mortgage since April 2008.
The advertisements will point people to an advice line and a new website illustrating the practical steps they can take to resolve their mortgage repayment worries, as well as contacts for the wide range of support available.
While this will be a national campaign, extra advertisements will appear in 22 "hotspots" - areas facing a greater risk of increased repossessions due to higher levels of unemployment and numbers of court orders.
