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

They have released a huge burden from me.

Facing up to debt is a really scary thing, it is easier to just put your head in the sand and ignore it. Another debt management company approached me and I was paying £40 a month and their service was terrible, they lied about what they were doing, they bullied me into staying with them and I still had to contact everyone I owed money to, which is the most difficult part. I thought if I paid, I would get a better service, I was totally wrong. Step Change are amazing, and now feel as if I am beginning to sort my life out. Step Change contacted all of my creditors. I pay a set monthly amount to Step Change and they distribute it all to pay off my debts. The website is really clear. At anytime I can use it to update my monthly expenditure, see how my debts are decreasing. And all of this is for free. They have released a huge burden from me, I know feel as if I am taking control of my life. They are amazing. Reviewed on: 6th August 2023
