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

Step Change gave me back hope.

Step Change gave me back hope. Every advisor I have spoken with has been kind, positive and supportive, as I got into debt through my now ex-husband it was really important to me that I was not judged by anyone and I never have been. Everything was explained clearly to me and any questions I have had since I started my debt management plan have always been answered promptly. I no longer suffer stress and worry about my finances as I know I am chipping away at the debt in a way that enables me to cover my bills and have my life back again Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
