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

Lovely people to talk to, made a difficult, stressful process east. If TSB had helped me the way stepchange has, when I first realised I needed help, instead of encouraging me to extend overdraft, get a credit card, I would not of had to contact stepchange. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Very helpful

Helpful advice, helped me through a very stressful and worrying time. Being in debt and on maternity leave was an awful situation to be in, but step change was there to help guide me through. I've recommended them to several people. Definitely worth chatting to a member of the team if your worried. Even if its just for some advice. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

I spent years worrying about my debt and how I was going to get through the month after paying all my bills. Contacting Stepchange, speaking with their amazing staff and realising that I was not the only person in this position, took a huge weight off of my shoulders. Stepchange contacted all of my creditors and arranged affordable and agreed payments with all of them. I honestly wish I had contacted Stepchange years ago. I would not have been under so much pressure and so miserable for so long! Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
