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 saved my house!

Stepchange set up my dmp, contacted all creditors to arrange payment, so that I didn’t have to sell my house or declare bankruptcy, so if you have debt problems, CALL THEM FIRST! Highly recommended Reviewed on: 25th May 2024

I was drowning in debt.

I was drowning in debt and my life was becoming unbearable. I needed an answer to my problems and Stepchange were the answer. From my very first contact with them, they have been totally professional, sympathetic and helpful. They have helped me turn my life around and I would recommend them to anyone who has any type of debt problems. Reviewed on: 25th May 2024

Finding debt freedom.

I fell into serious debt as the result of what someone else did. It was a real shock as i like to keep up to date and pay my accounts as soon as they fall due. Then I was not able to do that. Initially I found a company to manage payments but it cost me. Then I discovered StepChange. They stood as a buffer between me and my debtors. I sorted out how much I could afford to pay to my creditors and they sorted out the payments. There were no more phone calls from my debtors and I was able to have a more peaceful life. It took years, but at last, I made the final payment and my debtors were all satisfied. StepChange helped considerably in that I did not have to approach my debtors. I was always honest with StepChange and they certainly did their best for me. It is wonderful to know that my debts are now cleared and I don't have debts hanging over my head any more. I just wish I had found StepChange sooner than I did. Reviewed on: 25th May 2024
