Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

5
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

Stress free long term solution

I was forced into debt when parents died and left no provision for their funerals and expenses. This spiralled out of control. Stepchange helped to take control of the situation so that I could stay out of court and take time to clear these debts. Its taken years but they removed the stress and I have been able to sleep peacefully at night! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Nearly lost my current account

I had one plan and had an amazing experience, my initial plan was cancelled after an few years, and a whole new plan started. Stepchange included my current account and I nearly lost my bank account. I immediately had to pay my £700 overdraft to prevent my account being closed. I found this very stressful. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
