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

Use stepchange if you have debt.

I entered stepchangevwith a massive debt. They took me through a talk of what my options where. I chose a DMP. It took six years to pay off but since I started paying back my debt my creditors never sent me another letter only to say thankyou for payoff my debt. Luckily for me interest was frozen too which was a massive help. I can't thank stepchange enough for all there hard work and efforts to make my life much easier paying a regular amount to pay off the debt. I would absolutely recommend that you use them to help you eases your mind and takes away the worry. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
