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

Renewed confidence

After going on maternity leave and realising I couldn't afford childcare and be in full time work and debt accumulated from moving and getting married. I contacted Stepchange and they were able to put my mind at ease, talked me through all my options, helped me do a budget review and find a solution to paying off my debts without causing bankruptcy or having debt collectors knocking on my door. It was a renewed confidence, after being terrified of the mounting interest and scary calls and letters sent for missed payments. As soon as a Payment plan was sorted, I stopped receiving letters and calls and could just have contact with Stepchange. The staff were extremely helpful and gave me peace of mind.
