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

I got myself at the point where bankruptcy was the only option. Stepchange changed that. Now I can provide for my family with out struggling every month. Only gripe I have is when I go to go and do my budget on line they always ask for you to call them which time isn't something I have. These calls can be over an hour Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Back on track

I can’t thank StepChange enough for their support. From the moment I reached out, they treated me with kindness, respect, and professionalism. They helped me understand my options and set up a manageable plan to get back on track financially. It's such a relief to feel in control again. Highly recommended to anyone struggling with debt.
