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

Brilliant company

Kind and helpful

Stepchange was really helpful when we 1st approached them, they were non judgemental and kind to us. They have continued to support us when we have asked them to and send useful tips over email. Stepchange is non intrusive but always at the end of the phone for advice. Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Humanitarian Financial services

I'm approaching 40 and to this date I've never spent 2 hours on the phone to any company answering questions, I have to say it was worth every minute Having gotten into a situation where my credit limit was exceeding 60K across 4 credit cards I thought I must be doing something right to get such an excellent credit score. However things changed once the pandemic hit I found my back right against the wall and the very people begging me to take more credit became my worst nightmare as I could no longer afford to pay the minimum monthly amount to each credit provider, on top of that interest payments meant no progress was being made in reducing the overall balance. Step Change focused on my mental health and took a realistic approach to what affordability really meant, they took over each of my credit accounts and squeezed it into one manageable payment with 0% interest, I've honoured this payment to date. Cannot recommend their services enough to those who have run into genuine problems and have dependants. Bravo Bravo...A real humanitarian effort on every level truly life changing and life saving Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Drowning in Debt

Like most people who arrive here, I was going under, drowning in debt. 1 phonecall literally changed everything. The advice was amazing and the process is so simple and easy to understand, when your debt has swallowed your ability to think clearly the voice at the other end of the phone gently blows away the fog of despair. I'm 3 years in and have 3 more to go to be debt free. All of this made possible by Stepchange. Reviewed on: 4th September 2021
