Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

5
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

Honest, impartial - safe.

Honest, impartial - safe. Using an independent organisation to help makes what is a horrible situation to be in feel a lot more safe. They help because they want to not because they are getting anything out of it. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

Incredible Support During My Toughest Time

5
I am extremely satisfied with the service I’ve received from StepChange. From the very beginning, they treated me with respect, compassion, and understanding—something I truly needed while facing the stress and anxiety of debt. Their advisors were knowledgeable and non-judgmental. They took the time to understand my financial situation and provided me with clear, realistic options. Thanks to their support, I now have a manageable plan in place and, more importantly, peace of mind. StepChange has helped me regain control over my finances and feel hopeful again. I honestly don’t know how I would have coped without their guidance. If you’re struggling with debt and don’t know where to turn, I highly recommend StepChange. They make a difficult situation feel a lot less overwhelming. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025
