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

DROWNING IN DEBT

FROM THE MINUTE I CONTACTED STEPCHANGE I FELT A BIG WEIGHT LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS. I HAD SEVERAL CREDIT CARDS AND WAS STRUGGLING TO MAKE THE MINIMUM PAYMENTS ON THEM. I WAS BORROWING FROM ONE TO PAY ANOTHER. I STRUGGLED TO SLEEP AS I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT MY SITUATION. STEPCHANGE REASSURED ME FROM MY FIRST CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD HELP ME TO FIND A WAY TO SORT EVERYTHING OUT, AND THEY DID. THE FIRST STEP WAS THEM CONTACTING ALL MY CREDITORS TO ARRANGE BREATHING SPACE WHILST THEY HELPED ME TO WORK OUT A BUDGET. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I MADE A BUDGET WHICH WAS MANAGEABLE AND I WAS ABLE TO STICK TO. I'M SO GLAD I TOOK THAT FIRST STEP IN CONTACTING THEM. Reviewed on: 9th June 2024

Several years ago we were in deep financial trouble.

Several years ago we were in deep financial trouble. Fortunately a friend suggested that we should contact StepChange and, after a successful application, we have never looked back. Several options were given and we chose a debt management plan as it best suited our circumstances. After this there were no more unpleasant phone calls, mail or callers at the door. Good advice was given when setting budgets throughout the plan and monthly payments were made throughout. Now nearing the end of plan, pleased to recommend to anyone with a similar problem in future.
