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

When I contacted stepchange I was at my wits end,they listened to my situation and we came up with a plan between us to help to get myself on the road to recovery.they calm you down and put your mind at rest with regards be able to cope, they talk to your creditors on your behalf and come to an agreement with them to help you out anyway that they can. I really want to thank stepchange for the help and guidance they gave me, I have 2 more months of payments then after 3 yrs I’m done,I will have repaid my dues and I couldn’t have done it without the help of the guys at stepchange Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
