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

You want to see the end of your debts- Call Stepchange!

One of my relatives had dealt their debts with Stepchange so after a breakdown and getting into bad debt with credit cards and catalogues, I plucked up the courage to call Stepchange. Not only were they understanding but after filling in a form to say which debts were with who, they have compiled a manageable repayment that I pay every month. They have dealt with the companies concerned and even after I put the phone down the first time I spoke to them on the phone, I felt an enormous sense of relief that I would be able to pay off my debts and although it was going to be a long tunnel, there was light at the end! I have changed the repayment rate once as I was finding that some of my bills had gone up and they were so good about that too. I get monthly statements of how Im doing and I will be Debt free in about 6-8 years! This would not have been possible without Stepchange and I would like so say THANK YOU!

Stepchange changed my life

When you get yourself stuck in dark deep hole, you don't know who to turn too, hiding debt from family and friends through shame. Having a company like stepchange, lifted a huge weight from my shoulders and allowed me to recently clear all debt, and it's be a tough road and sometimes wasn't able to even meet my monthly payments, they never judged just advised, which got me right back on track, so I thank this free company and the staff that all work there, for helpinge change my life and turn it around.
