Christians Against Poverty UK Avis 135

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

Simone

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.

CAP kings lynn has helped me so much getting me out of debt. Very helpful staff and i would recommend this service to anybody struggling in life and with debt. I have made new friends and on a new journey in life with thanks to CAP. They are all superstars.

Leave these people strictly alone if you are looking for a job. They are clueless and hide behind amateurish slogans to propagate their own agenda. I do know - I used to be a Job Club Manager until I couldn't stand their downright hypocrisy and lack of practical experience! If you are in debt, be particularly careful that working with these people doesn't excerbate the problem. It does however provide employment for those who run it - which I suppose is all that counts for these charlatans.

I'm a donor and judging by the reviews, it doesn't look good. You can't have reviews that vary from one star to five. I believe the one I'm afraid. And so, I have to look for another charity from now on untell you change your ways. And next time, don't use 'the Jesus' logo' in your dodgy business, please.

I have been having issues with my current debt management company and they were rude and made me feel like I was nothing in their language and attitude.
I rang cap just for advise and a young man, think his name was John was so helpful. He spent ages on the phone to me explaining what I didnt know and what I need to do. He did not need to waste his time on me as I wasnt even planning on signing with Cap.
Couldnt be more grateful for his kind words and help.

My experience with cap was amazing am now debt free wish to thank everybody who helped me because if it wasnt for cap goodness knows where I would have been ,David from the Scotland team thank u for everythg u have done for me also Raye for being there to support me

I wish I’d checked out CAP before getting sucked in by them. But I’d just suffered a total mental breakdown, after the DWP cut all my benefits by mistake. The ‘budget’ that CAP set up for me meant I was left with just £21 pw to live on. And I will be in debt for the next
14 YEARS. It’s true what people say about CAP - they say ‘we will sort it all out for you’ but they have no idea what they are doing and in most cases CAP make things much WORSE. They pay people you don’t owe - and they claim you will only be safe if you are under their protection. THIS IS A LIE.
Its been a year now and they’ve set up nothing for me. I’m now so deep in debt I’m suicidal. I was up to date with my Council Tax when CAP stepped in - but now I’m getting Court letters because CAP didn’t pay them. And they assured me they were paying my EON debt - but my carer opened an Eon bill today and, over the past year, they’ve only received £68 from CAP.
Where’s all the money gone?
They have done so much damage to people’s lives - they need to be shut down.
Its CAP’s Management that are to blame - they haven’t taught or trained their staff properly.

SERIOUS PUBLIC WARNING

re: CAP’s Bexhill On Sea Manageress
Ros Thomas
BEWARE OF THIS NASTY SNAKE!

Both her name & date of birth are FAKE and she is actually a bent accountant who has been cooking the books for years. Who for?
Non other than my own MP Mr Huw Merriman - the very person I went to for help.
Merriman himself sent his Chief of staff ‘Frances Mckenna’ to my home to shut me up. It seems I’d inadvertently uncovered a massive property fraud that
Huw Merriman MP -
Frances Mckenna
and Ros Thomas have been running in East Sussex for 16YEARS. Along with Godfrey John ltd - a property maintenance company owner who threatened me with violence & broke into my flat - demanding thousands of pounds that he claimed I owed him. I’m terminally ill and I was so scared - so I paid him £3,000. But it was a scam.
Then Mckenna, using her position & power, cancelled ALL my disability benefits. She even had my DLA Lifetime Award taken away from me - I just didn’t know it at the time.
Then, with no money coming in and all my savings gone - Mckenna sent in Ros Thomas
‘on behalf of CAP’ to finish me off. For 8 long months, Thomas lied & bullied me into selling anything of value that I had - including my late husbands wedding ring and all mine as well - even the furniture my grandmother left me.
And All so I could pay the £287 a month to CAP for debts I didn’t even have!!!
I had initially thought that CAP weren’t a part of this scam - but research shows that they most definitely ARE part of this scam.

Ros Thomas is no Christian.
To her - Jesus Christ is just a man on a stick.
CAP ARE A BUNCH OF EVIL FRAUDSTERS WHO HIDE BEHIND THE RESPECTABILITY OF THE CHURCH.
I’m terminally ill and have nothing to lose now - so Thomas? CAP? Mckenna? & Merriman MP?

If you don’t like what I’ve said -or you think I’m full of pooh and just making it all up -why don’t you challenge me on it?? Go on - I dare you!!
Call the police if you like!

I CAN PROVE EVERY SINGLE ALLEGATION IVE MADE TODAY.

So CAP -
You just prey on the weak & the vulnerable - and you work WITH Huw Merriman MP.
And your days of being ‘promoted’ by The Money Expert will soon be over.
