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

Excellent service!

Excellent service! 4 years ago I realised that I was £40,000 on debt (I had been a student and had had undiagnosed Bipolar) Stepchamge advisers were extremely helpful and set up a plan for me. After 18 months I had to give up my job. For a few months I was on universal credit and I was allowed to take a break from payments. I earn less money with my current job but the review reflected this and I pay less each month. I now owe judt under £20,000 and am very happy about this. The whole process has been stress free and I would definitely recommend it to anyone unfortunate enough to have large debts. I love that it is a completely free service and I am not paying interest on my old credit cards. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
