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

Sorted out my budget and helped me get in control. Only issue is with some delayed payments due to one of my creditors switching the debt collection agency they used and a couple of payments going missing but StepChange have given me advice for chasing that. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Life saver

For myself into debt trying to fix things myself after coming out of a financially coercive relationship but it all got too much. Didn’t want CCJ/IVA/bancruptcy and didn’t know I could get help. Finally on way to sorting life out! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Step Change helped me find a plan that worked for and budget effectively. It can seem a lot to work through with the Step Change team at first, but it is worth it. My wellbeing feels much better since I completed the process. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
