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

A money advice organisation that put you first

My experience has been really positive. From the start, they treated me like a human being rather than just another account, which made a huge difference. They took the time to explain all of the options available to me in a clear and compassionate way, helping me make informed decisions without feeling pressured. The payment management process has been straightforward, and the platform is very easy to use and navigate, which has made staying on top of everything much less stressful. I also really appreciate the regular check-ins — it shows they genuinely care and want to support you throughout the process. Overall, a professional, understanding, and supportive service.

Drowning in debt and very depressed.

I was drowning in debt and very depressed. I was spending to relieve the depression but each time the ‘buzz’ of spending was very short lived and of course adding to the already heavy burden. It was counter productive and a form of self destruction. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

StepChange completely transformed my life

StepChange have completely transformed my life, without them I would never be able to say these words……. I am completely debt free. Zero, nothing, nil. Now I can get my life back on track and no longer feel that I’m not going to survive another month without the worry of being unable to pay a bill. I can say thank you a thousand times, but it would never equate to the feeling that they have given me Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
