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

Stepchange are there for everyone, no matter what

I went from the lowest of lows to now over one year in control and happy with my monthly debit payments, so much so that I have further increased my repayment amounts to achieve a debt free life even sooner than I imagined. I must admit that I tried this service many times in the past and I failed it, only when you commit to it and trust the method, THEN you will see and feel results. If you need help with anything at all, please try using this service. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

Catalogue debt help

5
I had one catalogue debt that had spiralled out of control. The catalogue company told me about ‘step change debt charity’, I got intouch and they helped me out by writing to the catalogue company straight away and setting up a payment plan through them so I don’t even have to deal with the catalogue company anymore, I just deal with step change and it’s so much easier.
