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

I was drowning in debt no matter how much I tried to climb out of it. I was depressed and didn't see a way out until I contacted Stepchange. I can definitely say they saved my life. I was overwhelmed at first trying to sort all my finances out, but they made it so easy and helped me through every process. I did a DMP and am 4 months away from being debt free. They also have useful information and help so you don't get your into this financial position again. Would I recommend Stepchange? 100% yes. I really can't thank them enough.

Fear and anxiety leave when Step change become involved. They have helped beyond measure. I believed my circumstances would recover but they didn't. Think long and hard when deciding what to do. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
