Paula: Hello there, my name is Paula Stringer, and I have the privilege of being the UK Chief Executive of Christians Against Poverty (2020–2023).
First of all, I want to say, well done for taking the first step towards finding help with your debt. You’re probably feeling pretty weighed down by your finances, and probably struggling to see any way out, and I want to tell you that we are here to help you.
And the truth is, there’s always a solution, a future, and a hope, no matter how bad things look right now. And I can tell you I know this, because I’ve been there too.
My husband and I, we went through a very difficult bankruptcy several years ago, and it was a very dark time, and we are so thankful for the support that we received, in particular, support from our local church and close family.
That’s exactly why I’m passionate about the work of CAP, and about making sure that we can support you, but not just you, the thousands that we help every year, all the way through their debt journey.
Lorraine: Hadn’t paid my Council Tax, hadn’t paid my car insurance, I hadn’t paid the dog’s insurance, I hadn’t paid anything, anything at all, nothing.
Sharon: And when the letters used to come, they used to be like jubady-jub to me, all on a piece of paper, it was just like, wow.
Reg: We just didn’t know where to turn. I mean, we didn’t know what we’re gonna do here, you know? We can’t go on like this.
Maurice: It’s an unreal situation and you run away and you put your head in the sand.
Paula: Now, if we have a debt centre in your area, one of our amazing Debt Coaches will come to your home and visit you. We will explain how CAP could help you get out of debt, and then we’ll gather all of your financial information and send it to our head office in Bradford.
We actually have a team of over a hundred trained and understanding compassionate Debt Advisors who will put together a budget that’s just for you.
Janice: When we knew there was somebody who was going to come to the house, it was all confidential. You didn’t have to go anywhere. That was a real selling point.
Sharon: She got them there to help with your debts, and there’s not a cost, it’s done by a charity, I was like, what?
Lorraine: They picked everything off up that porch, put it in the thing and they walked out of the door with it. They just left with it, and just like, we’ll sort it all out for you, and then we’ll get back to you.
Maurice: But what’s the catch? There’s no catch, you know? And then all of a sudden, the creditors stop calling you.
Paula: You won’t have to deal with any of your creditors anymore. We’ll take care of all of that for you, and then we work out the best options for you to become debt free.
When you’ve decided the option that’s right for you, we then make sure that you have all of the support you need all the way through to becoming completely debt free. And our service is completely free of charge, and that’s because we’re funded by churches and people who care.
What’s more, I can tell you you’ll never be judged and you’ll always be listened to. After over 25 years of empowering thousands of people to get out of debt, people just like you, we’ve seen it all.
We simply want to help you because we believe that debt should not be the end of your story. No one’s story. And we want to give you the opportunity to have a debt free fresh start in life.
Sharon: I got phone call to say like, you are now debt free, and it was so amazing when you hear the bells ringing, and everybody cheering in the background going, yay.
Lorraine: He was more excited than I was as well. We were both like, on the phone going yay. It was such a relief.
Maurice: I honestly feel it now, the weight coming off of you. From being lost and in a downward spiral to seeing a way forward.
Sharon: So it doesn’t matter whatever situation you’re actually going through. Pick up the phone, call CAP, and they can change your life.
Paula: If you want to be one of the thousands that we help every year, simply call us today and please don’t wait for debt help. Let us help you.
