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

Excellent service

After years of struggling financially with debt building up I decided to contact Stepchange. I had to prepare a budget and they helped with this. They then explained what my options were. I hadnt asked for help before as I thought being a homeowner (mortgaged) that my only option would be to sell my home. However, there were other options available. They spent a lot of time explaining and discussing these with me. I am now on a payment plan and make one manageable payment each month. Since being in the plan I have spoken to them to ask about needing emergency credit which they advised on. More recently my circumstances have changed and I am now moving to a cheaper part of the UK as I now work from home - my plan being to clear my debts. Once this is finalised they have said to contact them and they will run through my options. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Fantastic service

Before my friend suggested to ask step change for help I was becoming over run by my debts and was feeling overwhelmed. Then my friend told me about how step change literally changes her life, so I thought what's the harm. I filled out the easy on line application, and received a prompt acceptance, I have found that I now have so much less stress over how I'm going to find money for necessity that we all require and it was also easy and very friendly customer service when I did require some help with my application. Thank you so much step change for helping me to sort my financial situation Reviewed on: 7th July 2023
