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

StepChange changed my life.

StepChange changed my life. I went from struggling to keep all my creditors happy, and failing, afraid of the telephone and my mail, to feeling in control again. I have watched my debts drop steadily over the last few years, along with my stress levels, and I can see a day coming when I will be debt-free! All thanks to the professional, helpful, and non-judgmental team at StepChange. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

My positive experience

I had no understanding of debt and feared the worst when I contacted StepChange. They quickly calmed me down and offered a solution to the problem that lets me lead a relatively normal life if somewhat impoverished. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Freedom from worry

Best thing I did contacting Stepchange , I went from sleepless night, to feeling like I had no worries at all. Easy payment options and no hassle from my lenders, whom I was so sorry to not be able to keep up payments with. I cannot thank you enough. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

So easy!

From start to finish, I could track my debt plan. Super easy. Only needed help once because I paid off one of my debts before the plan began. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
