Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

5
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

Instant relief

By the time anybody gets to the stage of admitting defeat with their financial situation, they are worn out and at the end of the rope, worried that they will be made to feel stupid. Stepchange does not make anybody feel that way, they never say ‘ why did you buy that?’ It was such a relief to speak with somebody that did not judge your choices they just helped you get out of the whole that you had dug for yourself. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I no longer felt ashamed. Reviewed on: 26th May 2025
