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

When we realised, coming up to retirement that our credit card bill was more than we were going to be able to handle on our pensions so we called StepChange, explained our situation to them and asked for their help. They spoke to our creditors and sorted everything out for us with a debt management plan that allowed us to lead a normal stress free retirement while paying off our debt. We would have been in real trouble if it hadn’t been for them. Thank you a million times over StepChange. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
