Christians Against Poverty UK Avis 

CAP has helped many people I know in my family and community to get out of debt and get their life back on track.

Being a single mum and struggling with lifelong depression i got into a fair amount of debt. I was given caps number from a friend who had previously dealt with cap. I was nervous at first, i dont believe in god so i was worried. After finally doing it, i was contacted by Colin. Colin made me feel so much better than i have in years. He is good to talk to about anything. He doesnt descriminate or judge nor does he talk about religion or try to push religion. We adventually went for MAP, which Colin did all the hard work and it was a really easy ride. Even after, colin is still a great friend and still checks in sometimes to make sure i am ok.
I couldnt reccommend CAP enough.

I got in touch with CAP whilst visiting a food bank. I was put in touch with a gentleman called Alistair who was fantastic with advice on my debt. Unfortunately i could not sustain the mounting debts and had to go down the route of sequestration or, the minimal assets process. Alistair has become quite a confidante really and helps me with way more now and offers lots of advice on anything that may upset me in life. The guys at the head office are so friendly and also very knowledgeable in the service they’re providing and make you feel like there’s light at the end of the tunnel. They really do feel like the “arm around the shoulder” abs help you breath again. This gets said to much but i cannot thank Alistair at CAP and all the CAP staff at the head office. Please if anyone is reading this and feel stuck then please, please get in touch with CAP they WILL help you out.

Through a collection of unfortunate events, I found myself in a very tough place financially and mentally. I contacted CAP even though I am not a Christian and they brilliant. They did not judge or discriminate in anyway. They helped me so much I can honestly say without them I wouldn't be where I am today. Absolutely life saving people and organization. Thank you all.

From the moment I called I felt supported and knew I was in good hands, my debt coach and befriender walked the journey with me and celebrated achievements with me. My plan was well calculated and taught me valuable budgeting skills.

Christians Against Poverty have been a great help to me helpinf me with my Cap Plan and most recently helped me replace my dryer 🙂
Thank you so much 😀

Having suddenly become extremely poor, a single mum with a mortgage I could no longer pay my mortgage, I sold my house and had to rent, over a two year period had to rely on my credit cards to live, it can happen to anyone. I was scared to open my door, open my letters or answer the phone, it was hell. I was introduced to CAP in Bolton, instantly i felt there was hope, a way out, inwas guided by a lady called Sam who held my hand through every step of the process, helped me with my children including curtains and a desk, I become debt free within a year, I am forever grateful and would highly recommend this service. Every person I spoke to showed compassion, I felt cared for and that I mattered. Thank you.

I became unemployed and struggled to pay my bills. I could not face opening letters or answering phone call’s . They ran a cap centre at my church. I spoke with Sam who ran it and she encouraged me to get in touch with cap head office. This I did and an appointment with Sam was arranged, she was amazing she went through my finances took away all my letters and told me not to worry.She advised me to tell any creditors that cap was dealing with my finances and I gave them caps number. After a couple of weeks or so she returned with a financial plan with budgeted for everything. I was advised that I would have to sell my house which I didn’t want to at first. Eventually I did sell my house but it took about eighteen months all the while cap negotiated with the mortgage lender and my creditors, interest was halted and following the sale of the house they got my debts reduced by approximately ten thousand pounds I became debt free and I have been able to purchase the house I am living I outright. My only regret is that I did not go to them sooner, they saved me so many sleepless nights. I would recommend them to anyone and I was so happy that they prayed for me.

Amazing people, amazing service, they got me through a very tough time in my life without them I don’t know where I would be, I would highly recommend to anybody going through a tough time or needing guidance or advice on anything really, extremely helpful and just lovely people to have supporting you

Fantastic services, would defo recommend, thanks to Jackie I am debt free, and had an added bonus of £300 to spend as a treat, thank you Jackie xxxxx also thanks for the presents and the free Xmas lunch, thanks to all the staff xxx

These people were there for me when I had no where else to turn following redundancy and divorce. I had a baby and couldn't afford my mortgage. I was paying bills on credit cards and didn't dare open my mail. They supported me practically and emotionally at one of the worst times of my life. They got the people I owed off my back until I could sell my house and sort out repayment. I really aren't sure what I would have done without them and will be forever grateful to them.

Thanks to Christians against poverty I am now Debt free. They do not judge , they are there to help all how need help. I felt ashamed of the amount of debt I was in , but they are very understanding and helped me through it. It doesn't matter how much debt your in if you are struggling, they will help. They Care.

My faith had lapsed after the break up of my relationship. Originally I was worried approaching CAP as I didn't consider myself a true Christian. However, like most faith centres, I was warmly welcomed, put at ease and given the time to explain just what my financial problems were. I had help and support throughout my journey with CAP. After each session we would hold hands and pray. It felt like coming home. I was amazed by the relief I felt but also the new calm I felt I attributed to CAP employees and volunteers. I always recommend CAP to family and friends. If you are weighted down by your debts and wonder where to turn, then turn to CAP. Become part of the family.

I was in thousands of pounds debt, all over the place and confused, CAP came to me, sorted a money plan out, spoke to all my creditors, even provided food support when i was struggling. It was like all the money worries were passed to them, no more dreaded letters through the post. They were amazing

I became debt free through Christians against Poverty. Jackie Adie was very supportive and helpful, I was in a total mess financially, had bailiffs at my door and it was very distressing for me. It felt like it sort one bill, then another 10 came flying at me, it was all too much. CAP took away all the pressures and spoke to al my creditors and arranged lower payment arrangements. Which was amazing. I would highly recommend CAP and can honestly say, I am still debt free now. Thankyou all

Love

They were very helpful and got things sorted in no time

They helped us out they will help others in debt don't keep it to your self glad they were there

Cap helped get me free from debt when I became overwhelmed due to illness and having to leave employment. Helped me with checking entitlement to benefits and budgeting to stay debt free in future. I was given a lifeline by caring supportive staff when everything seemed bleak. Friendly advice also meeting similar others over coffee and cake in a non judgemental environment giving me hope and a brighter future.

Life changing experience as a client of Christians against poverty.
The practical and emotional support received was amazing.
With their help I was able to keep my house, clear my debt and face a much brighter future.
