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

Find Customer Service very good, sympathetic, and understanding each time I do a budget review. They make sure that monthly payments to creditors are what I can afford, and reasonable. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I was feeling very overwhelmed to now somewhat relieved! A very helpful and efficient service! It has certainly made me look at money and spending in a very different way!

I was at my lowest knowing that I was in serious financial trouble. A quick call and everything was sorted. That night was the first time I had more than a few hours sleep, I wish I had done it sooner. Some will say I brought it on myself, over spending, living beyond my means but it really wasn’t like that and they never judged me. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
