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

Mental health & business failure.

Dealing with a seriously depressed partner and mentally ill son & having had to deal with putting our business into insolvency as a result Step change saved our lives literally. I really don’t think I could have coped with any more stress. They stopped the constant phone calls dealt with all our creditors just gave us time to take a breath and start to sort out the mess, set up a reasonable repayment scheme and start to heal. So kind when I was sobbing down the phone to them. Just lovely, lovely people who do all they can to help I can’t recommend them highly enough. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
