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

StepChange Changed My Life

I came to StepChange at one of the darkest points in my life. I was 20 years old, addicted, overwhelmed by debt, in and out of psych wards, and stuck in a cycle of avoiding everything. I had taken on extreme amounts of credit card debt just to take cash out and spend a few more weeks forgetting my problems. Joining StepChange was the turning point. They helped me face the situation, set up a plan, and supported me every step of the way without judgment. They gave me the structure and clarity I needed to start turning things around. I'm now 22 and nearly done with the debt I was once drowning in. I'm clean, stable, and moving forward. StepChange wasn't just a debt solution, they were part of my recovery journey, even when they hadn't intended to be. It was such a relief to be able to tell StepChange I was going to miss a payment because something came up, and they handled it. Instead of having to contact eight different creditors myself, they made the overwhelming manageable. That improved my mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, and it taught me the value of being honest with the people you owe money to. If you're struggling, don't wait. StepChange can help you take control. They helped save my life. My relationships with Family, Friends and even improved my finacial literacy. Thank you Stepchange Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
