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

From disaster to debt free

I couldn't get out of debt because of compounding interest on all my debts. StepChange arranged for companies/ banks to freeze the interest and I paid a manageable amount every month. Praise God I'm now free. They give you peace of mind and total relief. All paid off. I have a new life !! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Stepchange my Heroes

5
I was in so much debt it started to affect my health, I went to a dept to help me but with being with them for over a year to my disgust i found out they were taking nearly 50% of my money before my creditors got any money, so I went to Stepchange and with their professionalism and help they got me sorted, every penny I pay to Stepchange goes straight to my creditors.

I was overwhelmed by debt

5
I contacted StepChange when my debts became unmanageable. They explained my options clearly and helped me set up a debt management plan that matched what I could afford. There was no judgement, just practical advice and support. The process was simple, and they kept in touch in case anything changed. Thanks to them, I’m now making progress and no longer feel stuck. I’d recommend StepChange to anyone in a similar situation. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
