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 helped to give me back my life

I turned to StepChange as a last resort to sorting out my hideous debts, after separating from my ex-husband. They were very helpful and understanding; organised Breathing Space with all my debtors and helped me to work out what I could comfortably afford to pay off each month. I have been able to pay more when I could and pay less when times were harder. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you StepChange, for helping me to manage my finances and to give me my life and sanity back. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026
