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

I just can’t tell you how much Step Change has helped me . When I thought there was no way out, I contacted them , thinking they just going to be like the rest . Your Debt your problem, deal with it. . They were everything that I have not imagined. Helpful, kind , understanding, like people that were close to you. Everything they said that they will do, they did more than that. You have given me light in my life and so many other people. Thank you , Thank you and Thank you. . There is no words to explain how important you are to people like me. Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Excellent customer service

Zero pressure zero judgment

This company is amazing, after the shame of racking up over 20k worth of debt we didn't know where to turn, but after contacting stepchange they contacted all our creditors and have been paying a mangable month payment for 6 years now, and even in the yearly review when I have worked out I can pay more they have always double checked to make sure I'm not short changing myself. Really can not thank them enough Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Reliable

Quick and reliable company and the forms you fill out make it easy to get everything sorted fast Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Staff Dependant

Like all organisations, Stepchange is only as good as its staff. In our experience, some annual reviews have been a pleasure with the staff member being sympathetic and helpful. On other occasions, the staff member has given the impression of being disinterested, one, to the point of being derisory that we were in a bad financial situation due to circumstances outside of our control. We understand that there are people who will deliberately get into a financial mess by refusing to pay their debts but that does not mean we should all be put into that category. Stepchange provides a vital service to those in financial difficulty and for that they have our vote, but, staff must be made aware that clients deserve a sympathetic ear unless they prove otherwise.
