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 totally helped me sort out my debts..

StepChange totally helped me sort out my debt problems and have been very helpful when I’ve not been able to make payments due to ill health. The only issue I have, is that according to some debtors, they haven’t been informed of these payment breaks, whether this is true or not, I have no idea, but it has caused one debt to be passed on a couple of times and me receiving unpleasant letters in the post, threatening to send people to my home.

Time to get debt free!

StepChange have been excellent from setting up my plan, supporting me through illness and needing to pause payments, and advising me how to contact creditors etc. I am now around a year away from being debt free and can’t wait. Would never have happened without their help. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Smooth process and helpful advice

I accrued a lot of debt after an injury and it got sent to myriad debt collection agencies. I have tried to manage it myself and it was overwhelming. I'm on a debt management plan now and less drama. I have used Stepchange website a lot to help in making changes and contacting creditors. Just need the cost of living to go down a bit so I can get debt free quicker! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

StepChange is an ESSENTIAL lifeline...

StepChange has provided a crucial lifeline to me. The advisers are all very friendly, efficient , knowledgeable and above all sympathetic. Even in the darkest moments they have proved to be a guiding light when all seems lost. They are genuinely an Emergency Service and essential - especially in these very turbulent times. Very highly recommend their services if you find yourself in need of guidance and structure if you have money troubles. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
