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

Excellent help. Excellent solution.

Ended up going very into the red after unpleasant circumstances meant a relocation. I got in touch with StepChange and they could not have been more helpful. They took the worry and concern out and came up with a repayment plan. I’ve now only a few months left to go, it’s fantastic to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

I havebeen very ill over thepast 15 or so years and my difficulties did not help much. I was recommended to call StepChange and it turned my anxiety levels to reduce considerably. I am now recovering from my 5th Heart Attack and have had 10 Stents inserted into my heart and I firm;y am of the belief that probably would not have survived these had it not been the advice and assistance I received from StepChange. The adisorswho dealth with my case were very sympathetic and compassionate. Over all a great help towards my recovery and. survival. THANYOU. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
