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 useful advice even in late 70s

I found out about Stepchange through my bank having financial difficulties which had got out of hand in my late seventies. The loss of knowing how to deal with money worries was frightening and I dithered; procastrinated. To an extent I still do but the knowledgeable and kind people, a rare combination, have made it possible to believe that even at my age I will get sorted out. I am now 83, dealing with modern technology and complexities becomes increasingly difficult but in spite of my shortcomings I know I can get help. The people at Stepchange have made a real difference and I am very grateful. Reviewed on: 17th May 2024

they saved me from feeling alone and like I had failed. working with stepchange has saved my children from growing up with a stressed out dad, probably saved my marriage but more so saved my future. I am able to live again and although nearing the end of my debt management plan by using the service and sorting my lending I have the chance to build a future without borrowing and a life that I own.
