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

Highly recommend

I was at a stage where my debts were effecting my everyday life and causing me a huge amount of anxiety. I was up to-date with all my payments but had virtually nothing to live on. I was working two jobs just to be able to eat. From the very first call to step change the relief it gave me was immeasurable. The gentleman I spoke to didn’t judge me and he talked me through the whole process and what my options were. My debt solution Was dealt with professionally and was very quick to set up. I still work two jobs but I don’t have that constant worry and sick feeling in my stomach everyday. I’ve got my normal life back and I feel more like myself again. I can’t recommend step change enough. Thank you so much. Reviewed on: 15th July 2023

Relief after years of anxiety

I have been in dept for most of my 20s, and it's taken me until my 30s to be able to reach out for help. I found that when I had to talk to anyone on the phone, they were kind and understanding and although talking about debt is stil ok hard, I wouldnt have been able to get it under control without help.
