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

I was in a previous debt management agreement with a local company, however they charged a monthly management fee. Moving over to StepChange who offer their services free of charge, means that my dedicated total monthly payment goes directly to paying off my debts. I can manage, update and monitor my account with StepChange online. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Stepchange helped me sort out my finances when I had gotten myself into a hole. The process was smooth and they talked me through what they could do to help. I’m so grateful for the help received and have finally been able to sleep well again instead of laying awake all night worrying about my debt. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
