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

The first small steps to making a big change

After spending over a year full of worry, not sleeping and wanting to give up on life and nearly loosing my home, I took the hardest step and rang StepChange. I spent the first 15 minutes through tears trying to explain my situation to a very calm and kind lady on the other end of the phone. They then proceeded to help me get my life back on track with the advice I so needed and helped me deal with my financial problems. I am two years down the road and another two to go to be debt free. I'm not going to lie the last two years haven't been easy but I'm still here, I'm paying off my debt and I can sleep at night. Please make the call as soon as you know you are not managing, it is never too late to ask for help, but why wait, the sooner you make the call, you can start taking back control of your life. Thank you. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
