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

Been with them 3 years now and so far debt is down but an IVA would have been better for my situation which they agreed about 18 months ago and said someone would be in touch to set up. Not heard a word since Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

I’m nearly at the end of my debt management plan and what a relief. I’ll be completely debt free. I was so worried at the start. It took me 6 months of soaring debt with all the interest before I contacted you and I’m so glad I did. You were a life saver. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

I was in such crisis concerning my mental health that I had become out of control with my spending. I had serious diminished responsibility but hadn’t recognised it until it was too late to reverse the damage caused. Thankfully I found Stepchange who were so humane and kind. They saved me from falling further into a pit of despair and have enabled me to take back control of my life. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

Step change changed my life.

I was in a mess and didn’t know where to turn. Since I’ve been on my payment plan my life is slowly getting back to normal and I feel mentality more better in myself. I’d be lost without Step Change. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025
