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

Best decision I've ever made

5
I was so stressed and completely overwhelmed trying to keep on top of all my debts. Literally living from paycheck to paycheck and being terrified how to afford anything “extra” for the month like an MOT or even going for a meal with friends. Step change has changed my life, I honestly can’t recommend them enough. I felt initially embarrassed explaining and adding up all my debts but they were so kind and understanding! If you are in a similar position please get in touch with them you will be so glad you did! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
