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

Best thing I did was get in touch .

Once you get in contact about your debt it's a big start, they are there to help you not judge you & that's exactly what they did for me. Not wanting to open your mail or answer your door was the biggest problem, step change turned my life around, I had got into a hole I couldn't get out of & couldn't make ends me & they changed all that for me when I entered all the information. It was a big lift & it literally changed my life for the better me . I am still paying monthly payments & managing .It was the biggest decision I had to make , and the best one I have ever taken in my life . And I am a better me with a big weight lifted . And I got step change to thank for that . If you get into debt the best advice is not to ignore it , I did for too long ? Get help it's what I did eventually and I am very grateful for their help .
