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

StepChange the best decsion you will ever make

Things got heavy, covid left me in a pickle salary no longer met my outgoings. sleepless nights worrying about meeting the payments the following month after month. The worry and the shame…A few of the lenders recommended i give Step Change a call., at the start I thought NO, I can do this….but is so difficult. Like swimming in custard. My back was against the wall. I had no other option left. 3 years into our plan an I am so glad I made that call. I have to say that it has not been easy a lot of sacrifices had to be made, and we continue to do so. But these have trained us to be smarter, budget much better. As its sits we stand to be debt free (bar mortgage and a wee car) in May 2026. Looking back now and looking ahead makes me quite emotional. Stepchange are a game changer. Don’t wait a minute longer to make the call. The staff are so understanding and helpful. This will be the best decison you have ever made. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Great debt solution company

I was at an all low after having a brain haemorrhage, couldn't work, was embarrassed about my situation and was recommended by my creditors to get in touch with stepchange and they saved my circumstances and now I breathe, the stress has been removed and my debt is going down. Great company, compassionate staff and easy to deal with once you take the step and call them. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
