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

Peaceful reassurance

If only I knew about StepChange a few years ago I would have had reduced stress levels a long time ago. They were excellent in handling my situation and in making me feel at ease with regards to my future. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

Stress busting.

I was completely stressed out with trying to set up payment plans with my creditors knowing how important this was having previously had a business that was declared bankrupt. From day one when I phoned for advice to the present day - I have found every member of their team whom I have dealt with to be kind, understanding and knowledgeable. They go to great lengths to make you see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am still on my plan and will be for a few more years but I know that if I need help or advice I can just pick up the phone. They certainly stopped me from “going over the edge”. They richly deserve this nomination. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

Excellent care and customer service

When in a desperate state and knew I had to take control of my debt, Step Change were patient and considerate. They were also always available when I had any questions or queries. Not just by email but also by phone. So when you felt in a vulnerable state, you could speak to a human who was always clear when explaining and always able to answer any question. I have felt so much better knowing I am paying off my debts in a manageable plan. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021
