A NEW service has been rolled out to Lockerbie offering help to anyone in the area battling with debt issues.
THE CAP debt help team launched their free service earlier this year, initially serving Dumfries.
But they have now opened it up to those in the DG11 postcode who are in dire financial straits.
Paula White manages the debt centre, which has a base at the Baptist Church. She is backed up by fully trained advisors from Christians Against Poverty (CAP), and she works with befrienders, who are all trained and disclosed.
Their model has been operating nationwide for about 25 years whereby CAP takes on the debt and negotiates affordable payments with creditors, as well as setting up a realistic budget to cover all outgoings.
