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

Feeling back in control of my finances

After going through a divorce I was left with debt. With 2 small children and a part tine wage it was really tight. I had to live on credit cards to live for a bit and that coupled with the marriage debt it was tough. My mum who watches Martin Lewis like a borderline stalker recommended Stepchange. I was ashamed to need debt help but Stepchange staff do not judge, they made me feel that I could pay this off over time at a monthly amount I could afford. The relief after the first phone call was immense. I now have a realistic monthly amount to pay and no letters or demands coming through. My life is alot better for doing it. I feel back in control.
