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

Stepchange helped me sleep again!

Back in 2017 I had my bank account scammed, and they even set up a loan to generate more, and this was all done in my name. Bank security wasn't quite as good then, and I didn't discover this until the following day, by which the money had been transferred to an account which was never traced, hence I never got anything back. This put me in a huge financial state, not having enough money to pay my bills, plus the repayments on the 'loan' that had been taken out. I read about Stepchange on line, and contacted them. They were brilliant, and took care of everything. 7 years on, I'm still paying it back, but at least I'm not being hassled by credit companies or bailiffs. If you have financial problems, contact Stepchange, and you will be able to sleep at night! Reviewed on: 19th May 2024
