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

Stepchange are a wonderful organisation - they put my mind at rest with helpful and practical debt solutions. I would recommend anyone who needs debt advice they will not find a better organisation who understand completely how people feel when they have fallen into debt and need a guiding hand to help them through the worst of their situation. They are just brilliant. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Helfpful staff and saved me a lot of money

If you are looking to consolidate your debt and pay it off as quickly as possible, I thoroughly recommend Step Change. I was talking to a commercial organisation, found Step Change via a Google search and I am paying my debts off 18 months more quickly and laying less money than would have been the case.
