The Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS) is a free, independent and confidential service for people who are in debt or at risk of getting into debt.
There are 53 MABS offices in Ireland. MABS services include:
- Helping clients to deal with debts and to make out budgets
- Examining clients' incomes to make sure entitlements are not being missed
- Contacting clients' creditors with offers of payment (where this is necessary)
- Helping clients to decide on the best way to make payments
MABS offices operate on an appointment system. You can find contact details for all the MABS offices on the MABS website.
MABS also run a lo-call helpline available from 9am to 8pm, Monday to Friday: 1890 283 438. Clients can make appointments with a local office through the lo-call number.
MABS is funded and supported by the Citizens Information Board.
