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

Debt worries

I was really overwhelmed by the number of payments and how much they were to manage each month. I took out small loans to cover payments and it all escalated but my DMP did stop that. I feel so much better overall. However I was not aware that my creditors can log missed payments every month so I have accrued 11 defaults and 8 missed payments in 18months which does not look good on my report. I would never have had the money for a settlement so its the best it could be Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
