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

Absolute life savers

I approached StepChange when overwhelmed with debt, not knowing how to manage it and the stress that came with it. At no point during the setup process did I feel chastised or made to feel bad for my debt, which in itself was such a relief. I’ve been with them now for 2 years and I’m nearly at the point of clearing off my debt, the thought of which brings me hope and excitement that I never would have dreamed of having before.

Our life was spun upside down when my Husband owned up to his gambling disorder in 2018. We were close to losing our house! But Stepchange were there for us, every step of the way! They helped us budget our money along with communicating with all our creditors - this took all the stress and anxiety away from us. Thank you, Stepchange. You have changed our lives!
