CAP’s service: an overview

If you need help with debt, CAP provides an excellent debt management service that has helped thousands of people become debt free. After contacting CAP on their freephone number (0800 328 0006), they will  arrange an initial appointment with one of our local CAP Debt Coaches, Liberty and Melanie. 

Fact-finding:

One of our Debt Coaches will visit you, normally in your home. They will introduce the service and ask you about your income, bills and debts. This information will be used to create a budget for you.

Additional visits: explaining the budget

One of our Debt Coaches will visit you again to help you understand how sticking to the budget will support your journey out of debt.

Continuous support:

The next stage is for CAP to get in touch with your secondary creditors, including credit card and loan companies. CAP will stay alongside you until you become debt free; all we ask is that you engage positively with us as we go. You’ll also be paired with a CAP befriender from The King’s Church or another partner church — someone local who will support you throughout the journey to financial freedom.
