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

Got me out of an absolute financial mess

I was in an absolute financial mess with credit cards before I finally approached stepchange, who helped me by approaching my lenders, getting the interest frozen and working out at repayment plan that I could actually afford. Free service, amazing really. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

The yearly reviews help you to take stock of your finances - keeping you in control. When you speak to the lovely people at Step change, they never judge you and are always empathetic.

Brilliant! Helped me get things under control and for the first time in years I can see debt free light at the end of the tunnel. Customer service has always been really helpful, I've never felt judged by anyone and the fact I can do everything online really helps. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Fantastic service. Staff are helpful and understanding. Being a homeowner I didn't realise I had options that meant I was able to keep my house. A few years on and my circumstances have changed and am almost debt free. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
