Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

I have been very ill with cancer. During my treatments I took my eye off the ball as the saying goes. Was too ill to deal with post and many many calls from people demanding money. I was becoming paranoid about the phone,the postman. Well debts don’t go away I didn’t know where or who to turn to, my life was such a mess, I was even contemplating ending it all. A friend came here and said why don’t we ring Stepchange the debt charity. I had nothing to lose but from that very first call, they made me feel like we can sort this out together and took me through every single step. Every person I spoke with was efficient,nothing was too much trouble, kind and compassionate. Made me feel like perhaps I could live a life. Am not the only person this happens to. Quite a bit of paperwork which I found daunting but even if I was stuck on silly questions I always got a real person to speak with. I can’t praise them high enough Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

Step change can and will help you!

I accumulated debt due to a drastic change of circumstance. Step change worked out an affordable plan with me, no judgment just sympathy and support for the situation I had found myself in. I am now only one year away from being completely debt free. I’d never imagined I’d be saying that 6 years ago. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Life changers.

I cannot fault step change in anyway. They have got it exactly right. Great service, support, ease of set up, updates etc. I was in a bad place with money and I dreaded asking for help. I was embarrassed to be honest. I was also at my wits end and sinking. The whole process was simple to set up. The ongoing support has been perfect and hassle free. I am still in debt but now have breathing space and I can see an end. If you are reading this and are unsure, please don’t waste anymore time. Take the plunge and make contact. I promise you won’t regret it. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
