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

Absolutely amazing. Cannot thank enough

I would have never been debt free if it was not for you . I cannot thankyou enough for all the help and support you have given us. I have recommended you to 2 other people who I knew was struggling to clear there debt. They cannot thank me enough as you are changing there life as well. Thank again so much. Was an amazing feeling to know I am almost debt free Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

FREE debt advice.

Let’s face it - you’re coming to StepChange because you need help rationalising finances. I didn’t start with StepChange as I’d never heard of them - they weren’t at the top of the internet search list. I went with someone else that CHARGED me for trying to get out of debt. A monthly fee payable alongside my repayments. Then I found StepChange and the process of them taking on the liaison and management became so simple. Customer service agents were brilliant - understanding and informative. They could answer any query, if not at the time then soon after. I can’t fault the service. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Please do not delay - Speak to StepChange now!

Because of a change of circumstances, I realised that I would soon be defaulting on my financial commitments. The amounts I owed several creditors, were in excess of £41k. Talking to MBNA they said, take action now and get StepChange to help you. Best decision of my life. I got in touch and, within a very short space of time, had a Debt Plan in place which was affordable but has allowed me to live a reasonably, comfortable life, - without fearing letters through the door! I am nearly three years in now and haven't missed a payment. Had to slightly delay a couple but they were still within the time boundaries. What has struck me the most is that everyone I have dealt with at StepChange are; friendly, non judgemental and incredibly supportive and helpful. Please, if you are in a financial mess - get their help - I promise you will not regret it! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Step Change likely saved my life. I was spiralling into debt I couldn’t get out of because of interest charges and Step Change offered me a life raft. I will never not be grateful for such an incredible company. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
