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

I completed my DMP this morning with Megan.

I completed my DMP this morning with Megan. Megan and Angela are very professional, kind and helpful. We went through it and it's all been sorted out. I am waiting for Megan's email showing my DMP. I am due to pay my 1st installment sometime in October and my direct debit to StepChange for my creditors starts on 01/11/2025. Thank you to everyone at StepChange for helping me sort out my debts especially Megan and Angela who I highly recommend, Kind regards and take care everyone, Mark Haynes Reviewed on: 26th September 2025

Thank you so much for your help StepChange :)

I am very pleased with the service because when I had serious health problems and lost my job, they helped me with my bank debts so that I could sleep peacefully and not be afraid that a debt collector would knock on my door and get into even more trouble. Reviewed on: 17th August 2025
