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

Call them NOW do not ignore the problem

If I had not contacted Step Change I am pretty sure I would not be here today. The stress and anxiety just grinds you down, but with the help I got from Step Change in sorting out my debts into a realist repayment over a longer time that everyone was happy with was brilliant. Its not easy but finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Do not leave it as long as I did before calling them for help. DO NOT get conned by other so called Dept management solutions that charge for the service. Step Change DO NOT CHARGE FOR THE SERVICE Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
