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

Taking the worry of debt off my shoulders

11 years ago I was in a terrible state. Despair! Credit cards throwing money at me. Cheques to spend money. I wanted to support my business at a difficult time. I had a perfect credit score so the cc companies were only happy for me to borrow more. Ever the optimist, I thought things would get better. I was stupidly irresponsible with my head in the sand and the debt spiral began. Frightening! Embarrassing! Thank goodness for Stepchange, and its precursor CCCS. They have been with me all the way through my Debt ManagementPlan (DMP). The end is near. Thank goodness for Stepchange. As soon as I started my DMP, the worry lifted. I was in a managed process.from the start. It really was like a ton weight lifted off my shoulders. Please, if you are in despair with debt, get the helping hand of Stepchange. I'm sure it will be a life changer for you. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2021

Great Support and Advice When It's Needed

At a dire point in my life, when faced with seemingly insurmountable debt following the loss of my job, Stepchange was there to help and guide me through the maze of financial challenges that arose. Today, just a few years later, I am almost debt free, made possible by the well constructed, realistic and achievable Debt Management Plan originated by Stepchange, for which I am truly appreciative.
