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

Lockdown and I'll health threw my husband and I into turmoil to pay an existing debt of a bank loan and credit card. They werent fortunes but we just werent able to find the monthly payments anymore. Step change were recommended by our bank so we decided to try. They were brilliant. So simple to follow instructions. Approachable and absolutely judgemental. They took all strainmoff us at every stage. Would recommend no one else if anyone is facing financial problems. Dont leave it until it's bad. Contact Stepchange as soon as possible. Thankyou Stepchange! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Benefits, debt and Stepchange

I was under crushing debts. They didn’t amount to more than £5000. But being on benefits is difficult to manage as is. When you add in debt, it can become distressing. My mental health was awful and I wasn’t sure how I would handle it. Stepchange were there to help with ever They calculated the debt and got in touch with all my debtors. We worked out an affordable plan and solution. All I had to do was guarantee that the money was in the account. There are regular reviews so if your financial situation changes you can change what you pay. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Before I contacted StepChange, I was constantly worried about my ever increasing bills. I felt that I wasn't getting anywhere, even after phoning my creditors.
