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

I just wish I had found Stepchange sooner

I just wish I had found Stepchange sooner - from filling in my first budget sheets to starting my debt management plan has been such a relief. I actually thought I would never be able to sort out and pay my debts - having just retired this was extremely stressful and daunting. Now I have a 52 month plan and budget which means I pay all of them and still manage to survive affordably. I have been kept informed throughout this process and cannot imagine doing this on my own - I'm so grateful to everyone at Stepchange for this opportunity to get my finances back on track.
