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

Very helpful, have taken so much stress out of my life, I don't get much contact from my creditors and things tick along nicely. If I have a problem or letter from a creditor I get in touch with StepChange and they sort it for me. They reply to my emails within a couple of days. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

Stepchange have been fantastic, started with them years ago when they were known as 'CCCS' and we are just a few months away from our final payment. Whenever we have needed to miss or delay a payment they have always been so understanding. Can't praise this company enough. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025
