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

Step Change lives up to their name!

Step Change lives up to their name! With debt spiraling and on a reduced income times were beyond financially difficult. Contacting StepChange was the best action I have taken in a quest to finally get to grips with repaying back debt. From the very first call I was treated with understanding and dignity and I was very grateful of that given the embarrassment I felt being in the situation I was in. My debt management plan was in place in no time. That was 3 years ago. Im well on the road to finally being debt-free and this is down to StepChange's intervention and there continued support. Taking the step was huge...and the change in my situation since that day is equally as huge. Reviewed on: 18th May 2024

Best thing I ever did, speaking to Step Change!

I started to fall behind on a couple of payments & using credit cards to pay them, things just spiralled. I stopped opening letters & buried my head in the sand. I hoped it would go away. I was recommended to speak to step change & they were so helpful & didn’t judge me. They made the process of paying off my debts so much easier. They contacted my debtors & together we agreed a monthly payment plan. I should be debt free next year. I can’t thank step change enough. Reviewed on: 18th May 2024
