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

When you cannot sleep at night

When you cannot sleep at night because you do not know how to get out of sinking debt, be brave and call Step change who will guide through the rough to sleeping again, I DID. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

They are extra friendly & make you feel extremely comfortable. I was in a terrible financial situation & they sorted my repayments within a couple of weeks. The lady that helped me was Becky who was amazing Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Lifesavers

I was struggling with huge debts and owed far more in monthly payments than my wages covered. I was considering bankruptcy after ignoring the issue for a long time. I was guided to contact Stepchange and this was the first time I had hope that my nightmare was over. It felt like a good friend helping me battle the debt collectors and giving me the breathing space I desperately needed. One simple (and more importantly realistic and affordable) payment each month and the rest is all done for you. A yearly appraisal of my budget and if necessary occasional holiday payment pauses. I could finally sleep at night and have the money to pay my bills and still enjoy life. It took me 9 years to clear nearly £20k of debt, but I am now free from it all. I have a really healthy credit score, but more importantly I now manage my debts much more responsibly. I cannot thank this charity enough for saving me from the worst days of my life.

The best decision I’ve made!

I was told about Step Change by my friend and in all honesty it was the best decision I’ve made. The process was straightforward and when I have had to call to give some more information everyone was so patient and helpful. I couldn’t recommend them enough. It has made life so much easier. Thank you Step Change Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
