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

Highly recommend Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

Step change costs nothing and provide an excellent service. It's easy to get hold of them on the phone if I need anything, and they are always eager to help. They send regular emails with advice and information on dealing with debt, and do all this for free. I would definitely recommend StepChange to anybody struggling with debt.

Fantastic support

My family income unfortunately took a massive dip as my husband was on long term sick leave due to health reasons and sadly he doesn’t get paid. I contacted StepChange and explained my situation and they were absolutely fantastic. They were extremely knowledgeable and understanding and I was made not to feel embarrassed about our situation. I cannot thank StepChange enough for helping us through our difficult situation. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021
