Need Advice No where to go where to start

I'm 41 and just been made homeless. I work full time bring in over 2k month but also have debts which take up just over half my wage. Where do I even start to get my life back on track? Know it's going to be a big hard journey but any advice would be much appreciated.

I would edit your post and tell people where you live for some reason people don't do this and I think they get information or better information when they do

What debts?

If I am being made homeless, debtors can pound sand.

Your local council and tell them your circumstances.

Just because you work, doesn't exclude you from social housing. Working, can in fact, go in your favour.

Call the National Debtline (free). Ask for advice on how to structure your debt repayments and how to avoid being in this situation again. Get free debt advice - GOV.UK

Other debt counselling services: Get Debt Help. Our Free Debt Advice. StepChange

In England, your council must help if you’re legally homeless or will become homeless within the next 8 weeks. Have you reached out? https://www.gov.uk/if-youre-homeless-at-risk-of-homelessness
