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

Very grateful to Stepchange

I was in a very bad spot having had to give up my job because of unexpected illness. Stepchange helped me so much. I also want to thank Marks and Spencer for their understanding. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I was struggling and overwhelmed!

I was struggling, overwhelmed with letters, different companies wanting different thing and I just couldn’t figure out where to start. Step change stepped in and took charge. I payed a fee that was enough to make a dent in my debt but small enough that I didn’t go in to more debt. And it helped me gain control, improve my credit score and get out of debt. I am debt free and feel like I can breathe again! Thank you! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
