Review of the StepChange, Debt Management:

Step change organisation.. a lfesaver after my life crashed into bureaucratic wall.

Serious Car accident in my past had impact on periods I could work followed by recovery time off I needed.. Gap in income came when Benefit payments needed to be recalculated.. No money to pay all the Bills and my explanation to sooo my departments not accepted.. Sleepless nights & depression followed. I feared Court action and prison. Communication at deadlock until 1 dark cold wet night, my call to Step change, by the Grace Of God, was immediately answered. They lifted the weight of anxiety if my shoulders. Acted as Mediator ensuring satisfactory and manageble payment arrangement between myself and all creditors, put in place.. Their Lifesaving calculation system has continued to be the anchor for my Mental, Physical & Financial exsistance. Reviewed on: 23rd April 2020

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

It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish.

It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish. It took 8 days in total. I'm sitting here now a lot happier than I was 3 weeks ago. They put me forward (against their recommendation) for a DRO, which was passed 2 weeks ago, and because I have their backing, I have been able to liaise with my creditors a lot easier, and they have actually helped me due to my underlying health issues. Thank you to them all from Stepchange and also Money Wellness (the people who organised my finances and submitted my DRO application) From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. They all deserve credit and praise for their hard work. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Gave confidence and control back to me

Very helpful, very reassuring, brilliant cannot thank them enough. Have got me through the highs an low. It was very humiliating to get to this stage of my life to be blasted with debt problems. They have made me feel human and gain control over it all at last. Reviewed on: 18th August 2024

From hopelessness to peace of mind and hope!

I was referred to step change at a time that I was very stressed and fearful. But they managed to negotiate my debt/payment plan to one that I could afford, therefore giving me peace of mind and hope to carry on. I will always be grateful! Reviewed on: 7th August 2024
