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

Best thing I have ever done is contact StepChange

Getting out of debt is really scary finally committing and owning up to how much you owe. You made the process really easy. I put the account number of the debts and the amounts from all the letters i had received. You then asked my spendature then finally a copy of my wage slip. That was it. The whole process and navigation of the website was easy and that was it. You took care of the rest and i pay an affordable direct debit every month and now it is something i don't have to worry about and haven't done for years. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

I was completely overwhelmed.

I was completely overwhelmed. I was consistently using one credit card to pay the minimum payments on other credit cards. I dreading every piece of mail correspondence and ended up with lots of unopend mail hidden away, I was really panicking about the future. One phone call with the people step change completely changed my position with my finances, I went from spiralling downwards to treading water with my head up with a positive future of one day having no debt, they have helped me budget and are handling all of my creditors. I am just so pleased I made that initial call, yes, my credit rating is shot to pieces but I do not intend to get myself into any more debt anytime soon. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
