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

Life saving step

Sadly I've used step change twice and am with them now. I say sadly in terms of being in debt but not because of step change themselves. If your facing sleepless nights and worried about your ever increasing debt then do not hesitate to contact Step Change. The service is actually life saving as I considered some dark options before contacting them. I now have a monthly payment and more importantly, an end date for my debts. They go through all your income and expenditure with you and come to a set amount to be paid. The constant chasing by creditors has stopped and that's a huge relief. Without their help you will just be going round in circles. Best step you can take is to contact them. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Fantastic charity - so helpful and stress relieving

Stepchange were able to make an extremely stressful and upsetting situation significantly more manageable. We had got into a position where were were no longer able to manage our debt and were struggling to see a way out. Stepchange managed the whole process with kindness and no judgement. They spoke to our creditors on our behalf and (aside from a couple of nasty ones) they have all been extremely open to the new payment plan. I honestly don't know what we would have done if we hadn't gone to StepChange. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
