Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

5
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

Good advice and Very supportive assistance, as the process can be quite daunting. I would definitely recommend to anyone struggling with debt, especially if they are finding it hard in this time of cost of living depression to give this debt charity a try. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

“My finances were all over the place. What I was earning was less than what I was paying out in credit cards and loans, and I was losing my mind. StepChange helped me and freed me from all that stress Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

StepChange have been amazing

StepChange have been amazing throughout my debt journey. They are so understanding, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. From the very beginning, they made me feel like I could get my life back again after getting into debt. Thanks to their support, I’ve already managed to pay back half of what I owed, which feels incredible and has lifted such a huge weight off my shoulders. What also gives me peace of mind is knowing that if I ever struggle again, they will still be there to help and support me without judgment. I honestly can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done for me. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026
