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

At the very start, Step change listen to me, didn't judge me, gave me the advice to face up to my situation and help me move on. Awesome customer services, friendly and very understanding. They lifted a weight off my shoulders, lighten the load. Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

Amazing!

Step change.. what can I say?!.. Absolutely amazing customer service! A hidden gem of a company. True, and a very genuinely helpful team. Every single person I have spoken with have dealt with my issues or problems with such compassion and taking into account the anxiety that money worries can bring. I was very nervous making my first phone call, but after I spoke to the lovely staff member, I felt at ease. Nothing is too much trouble, everyone gives you time to speak and you don’t feel rushed on the phone to explain quickly, so they can get you off the phone to deal with the next customer. Time is taken, compassion is shown. And this is how you treat people. Such kindness, and I will never forget the kindness and compassion at such a difficult time in my life.

The day I contacted step change was a huge turning point. I was out of work and didn’t know where to turn. That was 4 years ago, I’ve got about 6 years left to go but I’m in full time employment now and having the plan in place has helped so much Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021
