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 make managing my debts easy

StepChange helped me to set up a debt management plan, I make one payment to StepChange each month which they distribute between all my creditors. They provide a useful dashboard of all my creditors and how much I’ve paid and how much is outstanding. All of my creditors have accepted my DMP. StepChange take the stress out of my financial situation and are non judgemental. I can update details of my debts online or can speak to an advisor. I’m so grateful for StepChange. I can see exactly when I will be debt free. They are amazing. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
