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

Debt free for the first time in nearly 20yrs!

I was left with a lot of debt following the break up of a previous relationship. For many a year I struggled to make my regular payments until I had to concede I needed help. A quick google check pointed me towards Stepchange. They quickly helped reduce the stress I was feeling in trying to manage my poor financial situation by being supportive and available with advice. They also gave me solutions to overcome my situation. I have been using Stepchange continually now for more than 5yrs. Initially, I was predicted to clear my debt in 2063, when I would be 90yrs old! But overtime, through the advice and support I was given, I learnt to manage my finances better and increase my monthly payments to the point that I will be completely debt free by the summer of 2025. I could not have done that without their support and guidance. If you are having financial problems then phone Stepchange...it might be the best call you ever make! Reviewed on: 16th May 2024

Super Company

The hardest part was having the courage to accept I needed help with debts. After researching Debt Management companies, I decided to give Stepchange a call & was glad I did. From day 1 till the present day, Stepchange have been brilliant, especially through the 'Covid' days. They made the whole process easy & life a little more bearable knowing Customer service, for me, has been top notch - queries have always been answered, changes to the plan has always been accepted with no issues & the Customer Services advisors have always been very helpful. Would definitely recommend this company!! Reviewed on: 16th May 2024
