Struggling with Debt and need help? 

"I think CAP are absolutely wonderful and I can't thank them enough for giving me my life back" (CAP client)

If you need help to get out of debt and to manage your income, Christians Against Poverty may be able to help. The service is FREE and you will be treated with dignity and respect by a team of people who are committed to help you. CAP's goal is to have clients debt free and saving money within 5 years.

         CALL  FREE PHONE   0508 227 111  TODAY TO DISCUSS YOUR NEEDS

Poverty caused by unmanagable debt affects thousands of New Zealand families. It is hard to believe that 30% of NZ households have taken out loans to meet basic needs such as food or power; many middle- income families have no more than $40 disposable income per week; and thousands of children suffer ill health and regularly go hungry because their parents struggle to put food on the table. With personal debt increasing every year, this is a serious problem causing arguments and stress in homes, relationship breakdown, family and personal abuse.

CAP is an international debt- counselling charity with an 80% sucess rate in sustainable debt relief. CAP does not give out money or pay off debts, but enables families to live within their means. This is achieved through the provision of a wide range of specialized services, an award winning banking system, personal support, and ongoing education.

CAP opened in March 2008 and now has 5 centres in New Zealand and are helping 75 families manage their personal debt. CAPs goal for January 2010 is to have 10 centres operating in New Zealand with over 400 families on the CAP program; managing over $4million in debt and empowering 30 new families, towards a debt free future, every month.

MANAGING DEBT

The retirement comission of NZ web site has a number of excellent suggestions on managing debt.  We would recommend you read what they advise.

http://www.sorted.org.nz/home/sorted-sections/managing-debt

At Vizion, we support the recommendations made, recognising that debt, as a nesessary part of life, needs to be affordable and fair given the individuals profile. 

Sorted recommend that you shop around for the best finance rate. We would strongly recommend you don't shop around but use Vizion, for the following reasons: 

1. All Banks and lending institutions are not the same. They have different lending criteria depending on your personal situation. Vizions role in this is to make sure we place your business in front of the companies that will get you the best deal for your profile.
2. Vizion will advise how to restructure your finances to ensure you get the best finance package. Finance companies and banks will only respond to how you present your application. 
3. Every time you apply for a loan with a finance company or bank they do a credit check on you. This enquiry is recorded on your file. This can work against you as the more enquiries are made on your file,  the obvious question a finance company will ask is, why are there so many requests and why hasn't the other companies supplied the finance? Even though you have a clean credit history, this can make it difficult for you to get finance or increase the interest rate applied to your account. Vizion does one credit check (with your approval) and passes this to all the finance companies we submit your business to.

Managing your credit file.

Your Credit file is an essential and important file for you to manage, if you wish to borrow money now or in the future. Managing this file is as important as your annual health check.

At Vizion, we come accross people every day who are not aware that they have a default on their Veda Report.

Your Veda file records:

• Your personal details
• Home address
• Date of birth
• Any applications you have made for finance, who with, and the amount.
• Any defaults that have been listed against you.
• The status of those defaults. (collected or paid)

In the current economic environment, a default on your report may mean that you will not be able to source the mortgage for you new home or finance for a personal loan or your next car. At the very least, it will effect the interest rate you will pay on your loan.

The attached link gives you all the information you require to check your file and dispute any item listed against your name.

 For More information on how this effects you, please Contact us.

Fixing your credit file

                                    

We have prospective clients, who come to us wanting mortgages and finance, who find, when we do a credit check, that have listings that they knew nothing about. This is very common and important to address. These listing may be disputed and contestable.

The impact of a credit listing may be that you mayl not be able to secure finance for up to five years, or, if you can, it is at higher interest rates.

We Fix Credit is an Australian Company that has recently launched in New Zealand. If you have credit issues that you feel are not justified give them a call.

It is very easy to have lsitings placed on your file and difficult to have them removed. They are experts in the field and well worth the investment.
