Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

5
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

Excellent customer service and support.

I freak out whenever I get contacted about my finances. I’ve felt less alone working with stepchange. Although one of the companies I’m paying back have done nothing but bully me every month. That hasn’t stopped. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I do not know where and what I would have done, had I not approached Step Change. I can not express enough of how much this charity saved me. The staff are absolutely incredible, very understanding, reassuring and realistic. This organisation is like no other, we need more of these kind of people and organisations, supporting and empowering people to not be fearful of their debt and finances. So many people do not understand how to manage their money, debt and finances. This organisation not only empowers people to do this, but demonstrates how you can build money management into your day to day life and not hide away from it. Thank you so much Step Change.

I was struggling with my debts,and it was affecting my health and my family. I was afraid and scared of being judged. But after contacting StepChange, I soon realised how wrong I was, they are the nicest, friendliest people to deal with. I’m glad I am with them, as my life has changed for the better. I would recommend StepChange to anyone who needs free debt advice. Give them a call, you won’t be sorry. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Lifesavers.

I have been with Stepchange for a number of years and I can honestly say that they saved my life. The stress from the debt I was in was overwhelming until the day I spoke to one of their advisors. All the stress and worry melted away and I actually breathed a sigh of relief once my initial chat was over. They have never judged me all they've done is assist me to becoming debt free.
