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

Does What It Says On

Relaxing and supportive.

I’ve had a serious problem speaking to my creditors regarding my payments. I spoke to Step Change and my thoughts were seriously eased immediately. I have found Step Change to be very professional and easy to talk too about my finances. I’ve been paying these for the past 10 years and each time I’ve had an annual review they are extremely obliging and supportive in anything I’ve asked them. I pray I will win the lottery to pay all my debts off and I would treat Step Change to something nice if I was fortunate. Bear in mind this is what got me in the position in the first place. Thank you Step Change for all the support I’ve been given for the past 10 years. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020
