[Whale468]

I really need some advice but if I write about my situation on here, then anyone who knows about me or my case will know exactly who I am. I have tried so many times to call the advice line but can't get through. Is there any way I can get some advice without using a public message board?

Dear Whale468,

I am sorry to hear you are having difficulty getting through to us via our advice line. We are very busy and the best thing to do is keep trying. During school holidays, it can often be quieter.

You could read our FAQ’s which cover a lot of different situations and might answer your question. Or look at the interactive service.

Best wishes,

Suzie
