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

Overwhelming debt and harassment from the credit card companies. Used other credit cards to pay the extortionate monthly fees most of which was interest. Quite simply bled us dry. When we had nowhere else to go step change negotiations put us on an affordable scheme and gave us our piece of mind back Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I was in a mess.

I was in a mess. 9 creditors screaming for money, I lost track of what was owed to who and what has been said. Stepchange contacted them all for me and as long as i can keep up with the one single payment i will not have to speak to the creditors again. Lovely. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Step into Stepchange

I had dealings with Stepchange for a number of years. I've only had pleasant dealings with them. I don't know how I would cope otherwise. The whole process of working with them was painless. I would recommend them to anyone suffering from financial woes. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
