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

StepChange changed my life

Following some critical changes and ending up on furlough during Covid, I found myself struggling with debt repayments. Ashamed and embarrassed, I didn’t know where to turn. They listened non-judgementally and put together a debt management plan. They supported me throughout the plan with regular updates and were always so easy to contact and talk to either by phone or email. I would recommend them to anybody who feels out of their depth with debt. I am now debt free and have been for almost a year, all thanks to StepChange. Reviewed on: 15th June 2024

StepChange saved me

6 years ago I had a debt of £45K and was at my wits end as the minimum payments to my creditors were just not eating into the debt and I could barely afford the payments. StepChange gave me back my life with an affordable monthly payment. Next month I will be debt free having paid off the lot. And yes I will be celebrating. Thank you StepChange.

Stepchange saved my life

Stepchange literally saved my life , I was in a really bad place and thought there was only one way out but they were mentioned to me by a company that I owed money too and I haven't looked back since. They gave me the reassurance and peace of mind that I hadn't had for some considerable time. Reviewed on: 11th June 2024

DROWNING IN DEBT

FROM THE MINUTE I CONTACTED STEPCHANGE I FELT A BIG WEIGHT LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS. I HAD SEVERAL CREDIT CARDS AND WAS STRUGGLING TO MAKE THE MINIMUM PAYMENTS ON THEM. I WAS BORROWING FROM ONE TO PAY ANOTHER. I STRUGGLED TO SLEEP AS I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT MY SITUATION. STEPCHANGE REASSURED ME FROM MY FIRST CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD HELP ME TO FIND A WAY TO SORT EVERYTHING OUT, AND THEY DID. THE FIRST STEP WAS THEM CONTACTING ALL MY CREDITORS TO ARRANGE BREATHING SPACE WHILST THEY HELPED ME TO WORK OUT A BUDGET. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I MADE A BUDGET WHICH WAS MANAGEABLE AND I WAS ABLE TO STICK TO. I'M SO GLAD I TOOK THAT FIRST STEP IN CONTACTING THEM. Reviewed on: 9th June 2024
