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

I found myself at Wits End trying to keep up with payments I could no longer maintain. After consulting with StepChange, they took control of my situation and guided me to a monthly payment that was comfortable. They spoke to my creditors and have been extremely helpful were extremely understanding when I had an accident and was unable pay my monthly payment for a while. They those payments have now resumed and I feel like a new man. No stress, no sleepless night and well in the road to clearing the slate. My credit rating is also improving.
