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

Be brave and ring Step Change

I was at my wits end with worry about my credit card debt, especially as my income is just State Pension and Pension Credit. After reading up about available help, I kept putting off phoning Step Change for months because I was so ashamed of my situation. When I finally plucked up the courage it was nothing like I had imagined. The gentleman I spoke to was completely non-judgemental and in a calm, pleasant way helped me to work out a budget I could manage whilst gradually paying off my credit card. It was such a relief that the bank then stopped my monthly interest payment as well. Step Change were the best thing to happen to me and I would recommend them to anybody who needs help with their finances at this difficult time. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I was made redundant just before covid hit, and I got a new job on the day the first covid lockdown was announced. So due to that I had no payments coming in and stepchange helped me sort out my payments and got me back on track. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
