Are you struggling to manage your Debts?
Our Ashby CAP Debt Centre opened in 2010, and offers the award-winning Debt Counselling Service, which is FCA-approved from CAP UK. According to Money Saving Expert, Martin Lewis, it is ‘unsurpassed’, delivering a service whereby we visit people in their own homes*, and over three visits collect all the necessary information and paperwork to provide advice on suitable ways the family/individual can go debt free.
The support we offer is unique to our service; offering not only a designated debt coach, but also a befriender/support worker to walk alongside the family or individual until they are debt-free and beyond, if they wish. These individuals can offer signposting support for food parcels, clothing banks, grants and benefits help (among other things), meet up for a chat, and be a sounding board for the family.
