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 - so helpful. Amazing service.

Step Change were so friendly and helpful and professional. I had been so worried about calling but they were amazing. I went from being in total despair to relief and having a light at the end of the tunnel. Every person I spoke to treated me with such respect and didn’t look down on me. They were so kind. Totally recommend them. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Stepchange

I have been with Stepchange for many years with what began as overwhelming debt problems now close to being paid off. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stepchange for debt management. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Stepchange are the best

Stepchange put my mind at rest, negotiated with all those that i owe so i could only pay what i can afford. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

StepChange literally changed my life.

To say that StepChange changed my life would be an understatement. I had amassed debts through no real fault of my own (reduced family income along with redundancy and a critical illness in my family), but was losing sleep and worrying about how I could possibly replay back what I owed. StepChange supported me with a realistic debt management plan with my creditors where I could afford monthly payments while stopping interest accruing at a frightening rate. I have almost paid it off now, but my credit score has already improved again which means I have options and hope for the future for me and my family. I should have made these decisions even earlier but was embarrassed. StepChange restored my dignity throughout the whole process - for the first time, I did not feel alone with dealing with my debts.
