CitizensAdviceBureau Arvostelua 

Visited King's Lynn C.A.B.on two occasions.Very disappointed with help they were supposed to give.I was told to keep ringing the government department I was trying to contact in my own time-I thought the C.A.B.staff would carry more clout and that is why I visited them in the first place.Plus the fact when you ring regarding making an appointment you can never speak to anyone-you just get sidetracked.Will not bother again a waste of time travelling to see them.

We have no bureau in our local area so called another area with a women that huffed the whole time telling me I need to go to my area and kept telling me where I lived I know where I live but the area is no longer open so you are stuck I'm fed up with rude people and no help

Hi guys this IS NOT a review about this company but a volunteer business here in popstar land NZ. The company is citizens advice bureau NZ a non profit company that advises people over public and civil problems here in NZ.

Around two months ago i used there website chat function to talk to a CAB volunteer about a problem i am having with a social security govt dept here in NZ. The volunteer then heard about my problem through chat and I was advised to go back and talk to the dept I am having problems with to "talk the problem through" with them.

This would be the most ill advised info anyone could give about this NZ dept as they MSD most certainly do not talk things through at this stage as the volunteer had alluded too.

The volunteer should have explained that at this stage the client me would be put in a power vaccum, as the CAB advice at this stage was ill advised. Lastly the volunteer should have recommended a adequate skilled advocate or lawyer in this specialised area.

We are glad to learn this not through CAB at the next phase will be fairer.

CAB NZ has multitudes of online info if you have the patience to read through there online chat advice is not the best.

El CAB quería diez euros por adelantado por el "asesoramiento gratuito", así que pagué y varias veces traté de obtener algún consejo, pero cada vez me decían que no había pagado. Finalmente me rendí y pedí que me devolvieran el dinero. El arrogante abogado a cargo vio esto como un "comportamiento amenazante" y (obviamente) mintió sobre estar enfermo (todavía tengo los correos electrónicos) después de que dije que publicaría sobre el CAB aquí, incluso negó haber recibido una captura de pantalla de mi cuenta bancaria antes de admitir más tarde eso. Me han dicho que no los vuelva a contactar, como si quisiera, ya que son el tipo de personas contra las que querría ayuda.
