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 can’t thank StepChange enough!

I can’t thank StepChange enough for the support, the budgeting framework and their ‘influence’ with the banks who were happy to freeze interest and charges while we worked through the repayment plan. 18 months on and soon to retire debt free. Thanks for the support and a big thank you to the really helpful staff I engaged with. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

I found Stepchange very helpful, they didn’t judge me or ask me how and why I got into debt. I felt an enormous sense of relief once everything was sorted. I would thoroughly recommend anyone who feels they’re drowning to contact them. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026
