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

Great advice

Incredibly helpful advice and overall service. It’s just a shame that it can take so long to get through to an adviser. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

I contacted StepChange when it was the CCCS a number of years ago having reached what i genuinely thought was an irretrievable situation, my debts were unmanageable and I didn’t know what to do . A councillor took the necessary time to talk me through and offer me hope for the future through a Debt Management Plan . Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

It has been the best experience with StepChange. From a state of panic in lockdown, the kind and supportive staff reassured me that there was a way forward and guided me through the process at a time when I was so stressed about finance.
