Its a criminal matter so it shouldn't cost you anything to get a solicitor on the case.
I agree that you should go and see the CAB and then, if they think it necessary, get yourself to a solicitor who specialises in criminal legal aid work. Don't leave it to the duty solicitor at the magistrates on the day because it's probably a case where they would consider it minor enough for you to represent yourself and they wouldn't take it on.
H&T is spot on though, try and get it sorted before it gets to court. Ifind it absolutely incredible that they're prosecuting you in the circumstances. Unfortunately the system is full of complete tools (on both sides of the fence) and its the main reason I got out of the game.
